Chocolate Chip Overnight Oats
Description
Chocolate Chip Overnight Oats use rolled oats soaked overnight with unsweetened vanilla almond milk and plain Greek yogurt. Sweetened with maple syrup and flavored with vanilla and a pinch of sea salt, the oats absorb the liquid and soften without cooking. Chia seeds add a slight thickness and nutritional boost. Half the chocolate chips are stirred in ahead of time, melding subtly into the mixture, while the rest top the oats just before eating, providing melty bursts of chocolate.
The texture is creamy yet hearty, with a gentle sweetness balanced by the peanut butter drizzle that adds a nutty, savory richness. This preparation suits refrigerated storage up to five days for convenient, grab-and-go meals.
Adding mashed banana is one suggested variation to enhance sweetness and fruit flavor. The oats achieve a cold, refreshing consistency that contrasts well with the richness of the peanut butter and chocolate chips.
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats not instant, old fashioned
- 1 cup almond milk unsweetened vanilla
- 1/2 cup yogurt plain, Greek
- 2 teaspoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- pinch of sea salt

- 1/2 Tablespoon peanut butter for drizzling, drippy
Instructions
- Add oats, almond milk, yogurt, maple syrup, chia seeds, vanilla, sea salt and 1 Tablespoon of chocolate chips into a bowl. Stir well to combine. Divide oat mixture into two containers (I like using mason jars), seal with a lid and place in the fridge overnight.
- Take one container out of the fridge the next morning and stir the mixture.
- Top with chocolate chips, drizzle peanut butter on top and enjoy!
- Overnight oats will keep for up to 5 days in the fridge in a sealed container.
Notes
- If desired, add mashed banana for extra natural sweetness and flavor.
