Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 1/2 cup old fashioned oats
- 1 pinch of kosher salt
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips
Toppings
- 1/4 cup sliced strawberries
- Chocolate-dipped strawberries, optional
- Hot fudge, optional
Instructions
- Combine: In a mason jar or an airtight container, mix together the old fashioned oats, a pinch of kosher salt, whole milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cocoa powder, and mini chocolate chips until well combined.
- Refrigerate: Seal the jar or container tightly and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the oats to absorb the liquid and flavors.
- Add toppings: Before serving, garnish the overnight oats with sliced strawberries. For a decadent twist, optionally add a drizzle of hot fudge and chocolate-dipped strawberries.
Notes
- Use old fashioned oats for best texture; quick oats may become too mushy.
- You can substitute whole milk with almond, soy, or oat milk for a dairy-free version.
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup to your taste.
- The overnight oats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- To enhance the chocolate flavor, use high-quality cocoa powder and dark mini chocolate chips.
