The best chocolate overnight oats recipe
I'm extremely addicted to this chocolate overnight oats recipe. Most every Sunday night, I make a double batch, then I eat a big bowl for breakfast every morning throughout the week.
Oats are a fantastic way to start the day and provide a balanced breakfast. It's a whole grain that's low in calories, yet high in fiber and protein.
Oats are also loaded with important vitamins and minerals, as well as being naturally gluten free!
Plus, this recipe has chocolate in it, and I don't think there's anything better than chocolate for breakfast.
A healthy make ahead breakfast
These peanut butter chocolate overnight oats are an easy weekday breakfast option for so many reasons!
- Great for busy, on-the-go people
- VEGAN, GLUTEN FREE, AND DAIRY FREE!
- Made with fiber rich whole oats
- Contains antioxidant happy cacao nibs and chia seeds!
- Plus, it's a fantastic option for people (like me) who can't stomach dairy or eggs first thing in the AM
Even though I primarily eat these overnight oats for breakfast, I've been known to sneak some for an afternoon snack.
I also love them as an after dinner dairy free dessert too.
The cacao nibs soften and taste just like mini chocolate chips (gotta love cacao nibs recipes). YAY CHOCOLATE!!
Combine that with the fact they are healthy and it's pretty easy for me to justify eating these oats any time of the day.
