Chocolate overnight oats

Overnight oats are oats you prepare the night before: 5 minutes of work, a night in the fridge, and by morning they are creamy and taste of chocolate and banana. No cooking at all.

Before you start

  • Make them the night before: they need at least 4 hours in the fridge.
  • Make room in the fridge for the jar.

Step by step

  1. Dissolve the protein

    Put the milk and protein (and cocoa, if using) in a shaker or a jar with a lid. Shake for 15-20 seconds.

    It’s right if… A smooth chocolate liquid, with no powder floating on top.

    If it goes wrong… If there are lumps, leave it for 1 minute and shake again.

  2. Mash the banana

    In the jar you will store them in, mash the banana with a fork until smooth.

  3. Mix everything

    Add the oats, the chia if using, the yogurt and the protein milk. Stir well with a spoon, right to the bottom.

    It’s right if… It looks very runny: that is normal. The oats will soak up the milk in the fridge.

  4. Leave in the fridge

    Close the jar and put it in the fridge for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight.

  5. Stir and serve

    In the morning, stir and top with sliced banana and peanut butter if you like. They are eaten cold; if you prefer them warm, microwave for 30-60 seconds.

    It’s right if… Thick and creamy, with tender oats.

How to tell it’s going well

  • When mixed: quite runny.
  • After the fridge: thick and creamy, a spoon stands up for a moment.
  • The oats are soft, not hard or crunchy.

If this happens…

Too runny
Leave them in the fridge for 1-2 more hours. Next time, add the 6 g of chia.
Too thick
Stir in 2-3 tablespoons (30-45 ml) of milk in the morning.
Lumps of protein
Always dissolve the protein in the milk before adding it to the oats.

How to store it

  • In the fridge, in the sealed jar, for up to 3 days. You can make several jars at once.
  • Add the sliced banana just before eating so it does not go brown.
  • Not suitable for freezing: the yogurt changes texture.
