Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup milk (any kind)
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 ripe banana, mashed
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- 2 tbsp chocolate hazelnut spread (Nutella or alternative)
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of sea salt
- 1/2 banana, sliced for topping

Instructions
- 1
In a large bowl or two mason jars, combine oats, milk, Greek yogurt, mashed banana, cocoa powder, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt.
- 2
Stir well until everything is fully combined - the cocoa can leave streaks if not mixed thoroughly.
- 3
Divide between two jars or containers. Swirl 1 tbsp hazelnut spread on top of each.
- 4
Cover and refrigerate overnight or for at least 4 hours.
- 5
In the morning, stir each jar well. Add a splash of milk if oats are too thick.
- 6
Top with sliced banana and chocolate chips.
- 7
Enjoy cold straight from the jar or microwave for 1-2 minutes if you prefer warm oats.
Pro Tips
💡
Mash the banana thoroughly - big chunks can make the oats lumpy when cold.
💡
A dollop of almond butter stirred in adds protein and makes the oats more satiating.
💡
These are naturally dairy-free if you use coconut milk yogurt.
