Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 1/2 cups almond milk (or any milk of choice)
- 3 tbsp dark cocoa powder
- 2 tbsp maple syrup or honey
- 1/2 cup fresh raspberries (plus a few for garnish)
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chunks or chips
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
- Mix liquids and cocoa: In a bowl, whisk together the almond milk, dark cocoa powder, maple syrup, and a pinch of salt until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add oats: Gently fold in the rolled oats, ensuring they are completely submerged in the chocolate mixture for even soaking.
- Include mix-ins: Add the dark chocolate chunks and fresh raspberries, reserving a few raspberries for garnish later.
- Transfer to containers: Pour the mixture evenly into two jars or bowls suitable for refrigeration.
- Refrigerate overnight: Cover the containers and let them sit in the refrigerator for about 8 hours to allow the oats to absorb the flavors and soften.
- Stir and adjust: In the morning, give the oats a gentle stir. Add additional milk if the consistency is thicker than desired.
- Garnish and serve: Top with the reserved fresh raspberries and some shaved dark chocolate or chocolate shavings before serving. Enjoy the blend of rich chocolate and fresh berries.
Notes
- Use dark chocolate with 70% cocoa or higher to intensify the chocolate flavor.
- Add a dollop of yogurt for extra creaminess and tang.
- Sprinkle toasted hazelnuts or almonds on top to add delightful crunch and texture.
