Description

These Hot Chocolate Overnight Oats combine the rich flavor of chocolate protein powder with wholesome gluten-free oats and chia seeds, offering a creamy, nutritious breakfast that’s ready to enjoy straight from the fridge. Topped with Greek yogurt and optional mini chocolate chips or marshmallows, this make-ahead recipe is perfect for a quick, delicious start to your day.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups gluten-free rolled oats
  • 65 grams chocolate protein powder (about 3/4 cup)
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 1/2 cups milk of choice
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Topping

  • 2 cups low-fat or whole milk Greek yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt)
  • Optional: 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips or mini marshmallows (or both!)

Instructions

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the gluten-free rolled oats, chocolate protein powder, chia seeds, and kosher salt until evenly distributed.
  2. Add Liquids: Pour in the milk of choice, pure maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is fully incorporated and smooth.
  3. Divide and Refrigerate: Evenly distribute the oat mixture into 4 containers or jars with lids. Seal them and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or preferably overnight to allow the oats and chia seeds to soak and soften.
  4. Serve with Toppings: When ready to eat, top each serving with 1/2 cup of Greek yogurt. Optionally sprinkle mini chocolate chips or mini marshmallows on top for added texture and sweetness.

Notes

  • Store it: Keep refrigerated for up to 4 days to enjoy freshness and flavor.
  • Protein powder substitution: Use 3 to 4 tablespoons of cocoa powder and increase maple syrup by 2 tablespoons if omitting protein powder.
  • Make it warm: For a warm version, prepare a single serving with adjusted ingredient quantities, optionally omit chia seeds or soak them beforehand to avoid clumping.
  • Chia seeds alternative: Omit chia seeds if desired and add an additional 1/2 cup of oats to compensate for texture.
