🧄 Very useful ingredient notes
- Vegan chocolate chips - Dairy-free chocolate chips are surprisingly hard to find and tend to be expensive. Good news for Trader Joe's shoppers, their semi-sweet chocolate chips are dairy-free! And, usually around a reasonable $2 a bag. Another option is to buy dark chocolate chips. Check the ingredients, but they are usually dairy-free. Most dark chocolate chips are also dairy-free.
- Rolled oats - We're using old-fashioned rolled oats for this recipe. Quick cooking oats make it a little mushy, so I wouldn't recommend using there here.
- Ground flax - Flax helps to thicken the oats.
- Yogurt - Makes it super creamy!
🔪 Instructions
Step-by-step instructions for how to make vegan double chocolate overnight oats.
- Step 1: Add rolled oats to a pint-size mason jar or container that holds at least 2 cups.
- Step 2: Pour in milk and ground flaxseed (or chia).
- Step 3: Add yogurt to jar.
- Step 4: Add cocoa powder.
- Step 5: Add chocolate chips and stir all the ingredients together. Place jar in refrigerator overnight or at least 2 hours.

🥡 Make ahead and storage tips
Definitely good for prepping ahead of time. Store overnight oats in the refrigerator, combined, for up to 5 days. I wouldn't freeze these.
I love to make different flavors at once, like these blackberry overnight oats with jam, apricot cardamom oats and cherry overnight oats.
