Description
A cozy and chocolaty breakfast that combines oats, cocoa, and chia seeds, perfect for quick mornings and family rituals.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup oats (quick or rolled)
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 2–4 medjool dates (depending on sweetness preference)
- 3/4 cup almond milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
- Melted dark chocolate (for drizzling, if desired)
- Fresh berries (for topping, optional)
- Coconut flakes (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients to a high-powered blender and blend until smooth, or pulse for a chunkier texture.
- Transfer the mixture to a jar or container with a lid and refrigerate overnight or for at least 4 hours.
- In the morning, serve with your favorite toppings such as fresh berries, melted dark chocolate, or coconut flakes.
Notes
For a chewier texture, use rolled oats and pulse the blender less. If you want it ultra-smooth, blend a bit longer and use a touch more almond milk.
