For the Oats

For the Flavor

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by melting the dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat it in the microwave for 20 seconds at a time, stirring in between, until smooth and glossy, which should take about 1 to 2 minutes. Allow the melted chocolate to cool slightly.
  2. In a mason jar or an airtight container, add the old-fashioned oats, milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, unsweetened cocoa powder, pure vanilla extract, and your choice of maple syrup or honey. Mix these ingredients thoroughly until well combined.
  3. Pour the cooled melted chocolate into the mixture and stir again until everything is evenly distributed. Ensure there are no lumps.
  4. Gently fold in the semisweet chocolate chips, distributing them throughout the mixture.
  5. Seal the jar tightly and place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours, but ideally overnight.
  6. When you’re ready to enjoy, take them out of the fridge and give them a good stir. Drizzle extra melted chocolate or sprinkle more chocolate chips for indulgence.
