Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

1 cup rolled oats
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1 tablespoon cocoa powder

Wet Ingredients

1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
2 tablespoons Greek yogurt or dairy-free yogurt
2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
1 tablespoon espresso or strong brewed coffee
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional Garnish

Chocolate shavings or extra cocoa powder

Instructions

Combine the Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, and cocoa powder thoroughly to ensure an even cocoa flavor throughout the mixture.
Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, espresso, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Combine and Stir: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients bowl and stir everything together until the oats and chia seeds are fully coated and the mixture is evenly blended.
Refrigerate: Transfer the combined mixture to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. This allows the oats and chia seeds to soak up the liquid and flavors to meld.
Serve and Garnish: Before serving, stir the overnight oats to incorporate any settled ingredients. Top with chocolate shavings or a dusting of cocoa powder if desired for an extra tiramisu-inspired touch.

Notes

Use any milk of your choice, such as almond, oat, soy, or cow’s milk to suit your dietary preference.
Maple syrup or honey can be adjusted based on your preferred sweetness level or switched out for other natural sweeteners.
For a caffeine-free version, substitute espresso with a coffee-flavored syrup or skip it entirely.
Chia seeds add extra fiber and help thicken the mixture but can be omitted if preferred.
Greek yogurt provides creaminess and protein; use dairy-free yogurt for a vegan version.
