Ingredients
Chocolate Oat Mixture:
- Organic rolled oats
- Vanilla almond milk
- Organic chia seeds
- Water: You can use more almond milk instead of water, this is just the way I make my overnight oats. I find that the water benefits the texture!
- Unsweetened cacao powder
- Natural almond butter
- Organic maple syrup
Toppings:
All toppings are optional, but in my experience, these toppings taste the best! You can leave out any of the toppings or substitute toppings for your favorite fruits, nuts, and/or seeds!
- Organic bananas
- Sliced/Crushed almonds
- Organic chocolate chips: mini morsels are best for this recipe.
- Extra vanilla almond milk: Adding almond milk before eating the oats adds a great texture and flavor!
