Ingredients
  

For the Oats
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 2 cups almond milk (or any milk of choice)
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup nut butter (peanut butter or almond butter) Works great for creaminess
  • 1 pinch salt
Optional Toppings
  • Sliced bananas
  • Chopped nuts
  • Dark chocolate chips
  • Shredded coconut

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and nut butter until smooth and creamy.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine the rolled oats, cocoa powder, and salt, ensuring they are well incorporated.
  3. Slowly pour the wet mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir until everything is combined, making sure the oats are evenly coated.
  4. Divide the mixture into your favorite jars or bowls. Seal them and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
Serving
  1. In the morning, give your oats a good stir. Add your favorite toppings—fresh fruit, nuts, or chocolate chips—and enjoy this delicious, brownie-like breakfast!

Notes

You can substitute nut butter with tahini or sunflower seed butter for a nut-free version. If the oats are too thick in the morning, add a splash of milk to loosen them up. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
