Instructions

In a small bowl or air-tight container, stir together almond butter and vanilla yogurt until well combined and smooth. Add in chocolate almond milk, old-fashioned oats, vanilla extract, salt, maple syrup, and cocoa powder.
Stir until all ingredients are well incorporated. Taste the mixture and add maple syrup as needed.
Cover the container and refrigerate overnight or until sufficiently cold and thickened, about 30 minutes.
Just before serving, top oats with some cocoa-roasted almonds, dark chocolate chunks, or a drizzle of almond butter.

Notes

Note 1: Use an almond butter that you enjoy eating straight out of the jar. I like using almond butter made with slow-roasted almonds and sea salt.

Note 2: I adore chocolate almond milk, but dairy chocolate milk is a great alternative too. For a milder chocolate flavor, unsweetened vanilla almond milk is a good option.

Note 3: These overnight oats are intended to be quite creamy. If you'd rather they be thicker, add a few tablespoons of additional oats or 2 tablespoons of chia seeds.

Note 4: Adjust the sweetener to your liking—you might prefer none at all! We recommend one tablespoon of maple syrup, but you can use two tablespoons for added sweetness. Alternatively, try 1/4 teaspoon of liquid stevia drops for a zero-calorie option.

Storage: Store overnight oats in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Stir before eating, and add extra liquid if needed to adjust the consistency.
