Instructions

In a small bowl, jar, or plastic container, combine the almond butter, Greek yogurt, chocolate milk, old fashioned oats, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, salt, and maple syrup.
Stir until all ingredients are well incorporated (see note 4). Taste the mixture and add any additional maple syrup if desired.
Cover the container and refrigerate overnight or until sufficiently cooled and thickened. Sometimes I make them in the morning, get ready, and then go eat them—they are great after 30 minutes in the fridge.
Once ready to serve, top oats with miniature chocolate chips if desired.

Notes

Note 1: Use an almond butter that you enjoy eating straight out of the jar. I like using an almond butter made with slow roasted almonds and sea salt. I find peanut butter overpowers the flavors in these oats, so I don't recommend substituting.

Note 2: I love chocolate almond milk, but dairy chocolate milk also works. A vanilla unsweetened almond milk also works for a slightly less rich overnight oatmeal.

Note 3: Scale the sweetener up or down to personal preference—you may not even want any all! One tablespoon maple syrup is what I prefer; use 2 tablespoons for more sweetness. Alternatively, use 1/4 teaspoon liquid stevia drops for a zero-calorie sweetener.

Note 4: As written, these overnight oats are intended to be quite creamy. If you prefer them thicker, add a few tablespoons of additional oats or 2 tablespoons chia seeds.

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
