CLASSIC BROWNIE OVERNIGHT OATS (NOT BLENDED VERSION)

This not blended brownie batter overnight oat recipe is made to serve 1 person so you can easily use as many jars as you want! I like to make 3 to 4 servings of overnight oatmeal so I have a quick healthy breakfast ready to go in my fridge. Make as many or as few jars as you like!

Grab your jar and add:

• 2 tablespoons cacao powder
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• ¼ teaspoon pink sea salt
• 1 tablespoon almond butter
• 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup or honey

Mix well to combine until you have a brownie batter like consistency.

Next, add:

• ¾ cup rolled (old fashioned) oats
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds
• 1 tablespoon hemp seeds
• 1 - 11/2 cup milk of choice (I used homemade hemp seed milk)

Mix well to combine.

Overnight oats mean you should soak them overnight, so cover your jar or jars with tight fitting lids and store in the fridge overnight. These brownie batter overnight oats can be served warm or cold.

Keep in mind if you are heating them, you might have to add more milk as heating overnight oats makes your oatmeal thicker.
