Indulge in a creamy, chocolatey twist on your classic overnight oats with this Brownie Batter Chocolate Overnight Oats recipe.

Topped with chocolate chips, walnuts, fresh strawberries, and shredded coconut, this no-cook meal is ready in just a few hours and makes for a delicious and healthy start to your day.

Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • ½ cup oats
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 tbsp chocolate protein powder (see notes for substitutions)
  • 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • Pinch of salt

Wet Ingredients

  • ½ cup milk
  • 3 tbsp plain Greek yogurt (see notes for substitutions)
  • ½ tbsp maple syrup
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

Add-ins and Toppings

  • 1 tbsp chocolate chips (optional)
  • Chopped walnuts
  • Fresh strawberries
  • Unsweetened shredded coconut

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a 10-oz jar, stir together the oats, chia seeds, chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt to evenly combine all dry components.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the milk, plain Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly until the oats mixture is fully combined and creamy. Then gently fold in the chocolate chips if using.
  3. Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the jar tightly and place it in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, preferably overnight, allowing the oats and chia seeds to soak and absorb the liquids, thickening the mixture to a creamy consistency.
  4. Serve with Toppings: In the morning, remove the overnight oats from the fridge, add your desired toppings such as chopped walnuts, fresh strawberries, and unsweetened shredded coconut, then enjoy a wholesome, brownie-inspired breakfast.
