Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1/2 cup oats (quick or rolled)
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 2–4 medjool dates (depending on sweetness preference)
- 3/4 cup almond milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Toppings
- Melted dark chocolate
- Berries (such as blueberries, raspberries, or strawberries)
- Coconut flakes
Instructions
- Add Ingredients to Blender: Place the oats, chia seeds, cocoa powder, medjool dates, almond milk, vanilla extract, and salt into a high-powered blender. Blend the mixture until smooth to achieve a brownie batter consistency. For a chunkier texture, pulse the blender a few times instead of fully blending.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Transfer the blended mixture into a jar or container with a lid. Refrigerate overnight or for at least 4 hours to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken.
- Serve with Toppings: When ready to eat, give the oats a quick stir and serve topped with melted dark chocolate, fresh berries, and coconut flakes, or any other toppings of your choice.
Notes
- Use quick oats for a creamier texture or rolled oats for more bite.
- Adjust the number of dates to your preferred sweetness level.
- Almond milk can be substituted with any other plant-based or dairy milk.
- This recipe can be prepared the night before for a quick and easy breakfast.
- Mix and match toppings based on seasonality and preference.
