We all know chocolate and oatmeal go together, but this just takes that combination to another level.
Overnight oats are great for those of you who need a quick breakfast on your way out the door. Fortunately, I don’t have that problem too often, but when I do, I love to make easy recipes like this! It only has a few ingredients, too!
Some overnight oats recipes are just LOADED with sugar. I’ve found honey and maple syrup both to be super delicious alternatives. You can really use either when it comes to maple syrup, but personally, I prefer the taste of honey.
I think everyone ought to try overnight oats at some point. My other favorite overnight oats recipe is from a post a few weeks ago: Peanut Butter & Jelly Overnight Oats.
These incredible overnight oats are:
wonderfully chocolatey
deliciously creamy
Perfectly sweetened
Quick & easy
