Strawberry Dark Chocolate Chip 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!
• Fresh Organic Strawberries: For flavor and texture.
• Organic Dark Chocolate Chips: The essential ingredient to make this recipe the perfect treat.
• Organic Pure Maple Syrup: For sweetness.
• Organic Vanilla Extract: Just a little for flavor.
• Organic Unsweetened Non-Dairy Milk: Any non-dairy milk will work. I personally used organic unseewetend almond milk in this recipe.
• 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!

How to Make Overnight Oats

Overnight oats are probably the simplest breakfast to prepare and only takes 5 minutes.

To begin, mix together the oats and flaxseeds in a large mixing bowl or a jar.

Next, add the maple syrup, vanilla extract, non-dairy milk, and mix until it’s well combined. Then, fold in the strawberries and dark chocolate chips.

Transfer the oat mixture directly to your jar and place in the fridge overnight.

The next morning, remove oats from the fridge, enjoy as is, or top with additional strawberries and melted dark chocolate chips.

Tips for Making this Overnight Oats Recipe Perfectly

Overnight oats are easy to make, but be sure to follow these tips to ensure a 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 all the dry and wet ingredients together before adding the strawberries and the dark chocolate chips.

Overnight Oats Toppings

The options are limitless when it comes to topping your overnight oats recipe. I personally topped mine with fresh strawberries and a drizzle of melted dark chocolate chips, but you can top your breakfast treat with whatever you like!

• Organic Dairy-Free Dark Chocolate
• Fresh Organic Berries: blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, blackberries, cherries, etc.
• Organic Chia Jam
• 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 strawberries. If using frozen, the strawberries will change the color a bit, but it still tastes delicious.
• If you’re out of organic strawberries, you can certainly use raspberries or cherries.
