Equipment

  • 1 small jar with a lid or airtight container
  • 1 Spoon

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup rolled oats
  • 2 tablespoons vegan Nutella or any vegan hazelnut spread
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon pure maple syrup or your preferred sweetener
  • ½ teaspoon cacao powder unsweetened
  • ¾ cup almond milk or any plant-based milk of choice

Instructions
 

  • In a mason jar or container with a lid, combine rolled oats, chia seeds, cacao powder, and a pinch of salt.
  • Add your chosen plant-based milk (I used almond milk), maple syrup, and Nutella (or hazelnut spread you choose). Stir well until everything is fully combined and smooth.
  • Refrigerate your overnight oats for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight.
  • In the morning, give it a good stir, and top it with a dollop of extra Nutella, chopped hazelnuts, and sliced bananas for a delicious and satisfying breakfast. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Store your Nutella overnight oats in a mason jar or a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Prep ahead. Make a batch of overnight oats on Sundays and store them in individual jars for a quick and easy grab-and-go breakfast throughout the week.
  • Enjoy warm or cold. While overnight oats are typically enjoyed cold, you can warm them up in the microwave for a comforting warm breakfast on chilly mornings
  • Top it fresh. Add your favorite toppings just before enjoying. This keeps them fresh and prevents them from becoming soggy.
  • Gluten-free. For those with gluten sensitivities, ensure your oats are certified gluten-free to enjoy this recipe without any worries.
  • Adjust consistency. Use less milk for thicker oats, add more for looser ones. Adjust to your preference the next morning!
  • See the post above for more substitutions, variations, and topping ideas.
