Ingredients
- For the overnight oats:
- ⅓ cup (75g) vanilla or plain nonfat greek yogurt*
- ⅔ cup (160g) unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- ½ tablespoon chia seeds
- ½ cup (48g) rolled oats, gluten free if desired
- For topping:
- 1 tablespoon natural, drippy peanut butter (just peanuts + salt)
- 2 tablespoons semisweet or dark chocolate chips
- ¼ teaspoon coconut oil
- Optional: flaky sea salt
Instructions
- Add yogurt, almond milk and maple syrup (if using) to a medium bowl and stir until well combined and creamy. Stir in chia seeds and oats. Cover bowl and place in the fridge for 2-3 hours or overnight.
- Once ready to assemble, spoon overnight oats into a 8 ounce mason jar or glass leaving a small amount of room between the top surface of the oats and the rim of the jar for the topping.
- Make the chocolate topping by microwaving chocolate chips and coconut oil in a small bowl in 30 second intervals, stirring in between, until chocolate is melted.
- Top the jar of overnight oats with 1 tablespoon of peanut butter, then with 1 tablespoon of the melted chocolate mixture, spreading the chocolate to the rim of the jar so that it completely covers the peanut butter.
- Place jars in the freezer for 10 minutes or until the chocolate hardens. If you’d like, sprinkle the tops with a little flaky sea salt. Use a spoon to crack open the chocolate shell. Enjoy!
Notes
If using plain greek yogurt, I recommend adding 1-2 tablespoons of maple syrup to sweeten.
If you want to make this even more fun, you can layer extra peanut butter and chocolate in the middle of the jar, if you’d like.
