Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (2% recommended for creamier texture)
- 1 tbsp maple syrup (or honey)
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/8 tsp fine sea salt
- 1/3 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (large flake)
- 1 tbsp chia seeds (or ground flaxseed)
- 1/3 cup strawberries, sliced (use frozen if desired), divided
Topping
- 1/2 oz baking chocolate (70% dark recommended)
- 1 tsp coconut oil
Instructions
- Mix spices and wet ingredients: Combine Greek yogurt, maple syrup, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, 1/4 cup of the sliced strawberries, and sea salt in a jar or container. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are fully blended.
- Add oats and seeds: Stir in the rolled oats and chia seeds into the yogurt mixture, ensuring everything is evenly mixed.
- Cover and refrigerate: Seal the container and refrigerate it for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the oats and chia seeds to soften and absorb the flavors.
- Prepare toppings (optional): Smooth the top of the oats to create a flat layer and sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of sliced strawberries evenly across the surface.
- Melt chocolate topping (optional): In 20-second intervals, melt the baking chocolate and coconut oil together in the microwave, stirring between intervals to ensure smoothness. Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the strawberries and tilt the jar or container to spread the chocolate evenly.
- Enjoy: Serve chilled for a delicious and convenient chocolate-covered strawberry breakfast treat.
Notes
- Using 2% Greek yogurt results in creamier overnight oats, but any yogurt type works.
- Frozen strawberries can be used in place of fresh.
- The chocolate topping is optional but adds a rich, indulgent finish.
- Chia seeds can be substituted with ground flaxseed if preferred.
- For best texture, allow oats to soak overnight.
