Ingredients
Chocolate Blended Oats
- 2 cups milk approx. 480ml; I use unsweetened soy milk, but any milk works.
- 1¾ cups old-fashioned rolled oats approx. 149g
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder approx. 21g
- ¼ cup maple syrup approx. 80g
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or vanilla paste
- ⅛ teaspoon table salt
Chocolate Topping
- 3 oz dark chocolate approx. 80g; melted; I use dairy-free dark chocolate.
Instructions
- Add the milk, oats, chia seeds, unsweetened cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt to a blender.
- Divide the blended oats evenly between 4 small jars or containers.
- Spoon the melted dark chocolate over the top of each jar.
- Seal and refrigerate for at least 1½ hours, or overnight, until the oats are thick and the chocolate topping is firm.
- Enjoy straight from the jar!
