Ingredients

  • 250 ml jumbo oats coarse rolled oats
  • 2 tbsp chia seeds
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tsp vanilla sugar
  • 200 ml milk
  • 100 ml Greek yogurt, skyr or similar
  • 1/2 large orange, juice and finely grated zest
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup, honey or similar
  • 1 pinch salt

To serve

  • 2-4 tbsp Greek yogurt, skyr or similar
  • Chocolate shavings or chopped chocolate (optional)

Instructions

  • Put all the ingredients in a bowl and stir well to combine.
  • Cover and chill in the fridge for at least 2-3 hours – but preferably overnight.
    You can also mix the ingredients directly in 2 serving glasses with lids. Leave enough room for the topping the next day – that way the oats are easy to take with you, or to grab from the fridge in the morning or for a quick lunch.
  • Before serving, give the oats a good stir, and adjust the consistency if needed with a little more milk, yogurt or orange juice.
    Taste, and add more orange zest if you like.
  • Divide the cocoa oats between 2 serving glasses and top with a couple of tablespoons of yogurt or skyr and, if you like, a few chocolate shavings or some chopped chocolate.

Tips for overnight oats

  • Overnight oats keep for 4-5 days in the fridge – make sure all the ingredients are fresh.
    I prefer to make enough for 1-2 days at a time. It takes no time to stir together, and that way I can vary what goes in.
  • I recommend using jumbo oats, as they give the oats a really pleasing consistency and texture. To my taste, finer rolled porridge oats can turn a little mushy, but that is of course a matter of preference.
