Chocolate Covered Raspberry Overnight Oats Ingredients

• Organic Gluten-Free Rolled Oats: Rolled oats, also known as old fashioned oats, are the best kind of oats to use for overnight oats, because they absorb the liquid the best. However, if you only have quick oats on hand, you can use them too!
• Organic Cacao Powder: To make the oats chocolatey! To be clear, cacao powder is different from regular dutch cocoa powder. Cacao powder is pure, raw cacao versus processed. Plus, cacao is rich in magnesium.
• Organic Fresh Raspberries: For flavor and texture. Plus, they’re loaded with antioxidants and several vitamins.
• Organic Pure Maple Syrup: Just a little to sweeten the oats. You can also sub the maple syrup for coconut sugar.
• Organic Unsweetened Non-Dairy Milk: Any non-dairy milk will work to mix the oats up.
• Organic Non-Dairy Yogurt: Non-dairy yogurt is not necessary, but it makes it this overnight oats recipe super thick and creamy. I used coconut yogurt, but any non-yogurt will do.
• Organic Chia Seeds: Chia seeds are a good source of protein and help with absorbing the liquid.
• Organic Ground Flax Seeds: Loaded with nutrients, high in omega-3 fats, rich in dietary fiber, and you can’t even taste them. They are completely optional, so no problem if you don’t have them…yet!

Tips for Making this Overnight Oats Recipe Perfectly

Overnight oats are easy to make, but be sure to follow these tips to ensure an easy creamy breakfast treat.

• Use organic gluten-free rolled oats for a chewy texture or quick oats for a softer texture.
• For preparation, mix this recipe in large bowl, because it’s easier to stir.
• Be sure to mix together the wet ingredients, before adding in the dry ingredients.
• Be sure to mix all the dry and wet ingredients together before adding the raspberries.

Overnight Oats Toppings

Customize your chocolate breakfast with your favorite toppings. I personally topped mine with fresh raspberries, cacao nibs, hemp seeds, and a spoonful of hazelnut & cocoa spread, but you can top your chocolate overnight oats with whatever you like!

• Fresh Organic Berries: blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, blackberries, cherries, etc.
• Organic Banana Slices
• Organic Nut Butter: creamy peanut butter, almond butter, pecan butter, cashew butter, hazelnut butter, etc.
• Chopped Organic Nuts or Seeds: peanuts, almonds, sunflower seeds, pecans, cashews, walnuts, hazelnuts, etc.
• Organic Hemp Seeds or Organic Chia Seeds
• Organic Coconut Flakes or Organic Shredded Coconut

Substitutions

• If you don’t have organic ground flax seeds, you can use the same amount of organic chia seeds, or completely omit.
• You can use fresh or frozen organic raspberries. If using frozen, the raspberries will slightly change the color of the oats, but it will still taste delicious.
• If you’re out of raspberries, you can certainly use strawberries, cherries, or any berry of choice.
