Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups old-fashioned oats
- 4 tablespoons cocoa powder (dutch-process for deeper flavor)
- 4 scoops chocolate protein powder
- 4 tablespoons chia seeds
- pinch of salt
- 2 cups milk of choice
- 1 cup greek yogurt or blended cottage cheese
- 2 to 4 tablespoons agave nectar or maple syrup to taste
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine 2 cups old-fashioned oats, 4 tablespoons cocoa powder, 4 scoops chocolate protein powder, 4 tablespoons chia seeds, and a pinch of salt.
- Slowly add 2 cups of milk, 1 cup of Greek yogurt, 2 to 4 tablespoons of agave or maple syrup, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla. Stir until well mixed and smooth, breaking up any clumps with a whisk.
- Evenly distribute the mixture into 4 jars or airtight containers.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the mixture to thicken and become fudgy.
- Add your favorite toppings just before serving for a delightful finish.
- Make sure to stir thoroughly during mixing to avoid dry pockets from clumped cocoa and protein powders.
- Use old-fashioned oats for the best texture; avoid quick oats as they may become too mushy overnight.
Notes
These oats are a perfect make-ahead breakfast option that keeps well in the fridge for several days.
Feel free to customize your toppings based on personal preferences or available ingredients.
For extra sweetness, adjust the amount of agave or maple syrup to your liking.
