Brownie Batter Overnight Oats are a decadent and indulgent breakfast that tastes just like the rich, chocolatey batter of a brownie, but in a healthy, easy-to-make form. This no-cook breakfast combines the goodness of oats, cocoa, and a touch of sweetness, all soaked overnight to create a creamy, dessert-like treat. Perfect for busy mornings or anyone craving something sweet to start their day, these overnight oats are both nutritious and satisfying.

Ingredients

½ cup rolled oats

1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder

1 tablespoon chia seeds (for extra fiber and healthy fats)

1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey (or sweetener of choice)

½ cup milk (dairy or non-dairy like almond, oat, or coconut milk)

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

¼ cup Greek yogurt (for creaminess)

1 tablespoon chocolate chips (optional, for that extra brownie bite)

Pinch of salt (to enhance the flavor)

Instructions

  1. In a mason jar, bowl, or container, combine the rolled oats, cocoa powder, chia seeds, and a pinch of salt.
  2. Pour in the milk, maple syrup or honey, and vanilla extract. Stir well to combine.
  3. Mix in the Greek yogurt for added creaminess and protein.
  4. If using, stir in the chocolate chips for a little extra chocolatey goodness.
  5. Cover the jar or container and refrigerate overnight (or for at least 4 hours) to allow the oats to soak up the liquid and thicken.
  6. In the morning, stir the oats and adjust the consistency by adding more milk if you prefer a creamier texture. Top with extra chocolate chips, nuts, or fresh fruit if desired.

Notes

Use any sweetener of your choice such as agave, stevia, or mashed banana for natural sweetness.

Feel free to add peanut butter, almond butter, or hazelnut spread for a richer texture.

If you prefer warm oats, bake the soaked oats at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes for a chewy texture.

This recipe can be made vegan by using plant-based yogurt and non-dairy milk.
