Black Forest Overnight Oats
Black forest overnight oats combine cherries and chocolate. Top that with yogurt and a chocolate shell and you've got dessert for breakfast.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (60g) rolled oats
- 1 tbsp (7g) cocoa powder
- 1/3 cup (75g) unsweetened oat milk (or any milk)
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp (20g) maple syrup
- 8 cherries, pitted and chopped *see notes
- 3 tbsp (42g) plain nonfat Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp (10g) semi sweet chocolate chips (optional but included in nutritional info)
Instructions
- In a 250mL (or bigger) size jar or container, add the oats, cocoa powder, milk, , vanilla extract and maple syrup. Stir until combined.
- For the next layer, add the chopped cherries on top. Don't stir.
- Then gently spread the Greek yogurt on top of the cherries.
- If adding the chocolate shell on top, add the chocolate to a microwave safe bowl. Melt the chocolate in 20 second increments in the microwave until fully melted. Spoon it gently on top of the yogurt and spread it as much as you can.
- Seal or cover your container and place in the fridge overnight or for at least 6 hours until the oats are set. Crack through the chocolate shell and enjoy!
Notes
*Fresh cherries are preferred in this recipe but if you only have frozen, let them drain for 20 minutes to get rid of excess moisture. If you're in a hurry, just put the frozen chopped cherries straight in but reduce the oat milk by 1 tbsp so you're oats are still nice and creamy.
