Description
These Almond Joy Overnight Oats taste like dessert for breakfast rich chocolate, toasted almonds, and coconut come together in a creamy, wholesome jar you can prep ahead for busy mornings.
Ingredients
Base:
½ cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1 tbsp chia seeds (optional, for thickness)
1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based: almond, oat, or coconut milk)
2 tsp maple syrup or honey (adjust to taste)
½ tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Mix-ins:
2 tbsp shredded unsweetened coconut
1–2 tbsp chopped almonds (raw or toasted)
1 tbsp mini chocolate chips or dark chocolate chunks
Optional Toppings:
Extra coconut flakes
Sliced almonds
Drizzle of melted chocolate or almond butter
Instructions
1. In a jar or bowl, combine oats, chia seeds, cocoa powder, and salt. Add milk, maple syrup, and vanilla. Stir until fully combined.
2. Mix in shredded coconut, chopped almonds, and chocolate chips. Stir again.
3. Cover and chill for at least 6 hours or overnight to let the oats soften and the flavors blend.
4. In the morning, give it a good stir. Add a splash of milk if it’s too thick.
5. Top with more coconut, almonds, and a drizzle of chocolate or almond butter for a treat-like finish.
Notes
For extra richness, add a spoonful of Greek yogurt before refrigerating.
Use toasted coconut and roasted almonds for deeper flavor.
Store in the fridge for up to 3 days — perfect for meal prep mornings.
Make it vegan by using plant-based milk and skipping honey.
