Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon mini chocolate chips plus extra for topping
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions
 

  • Mix the Ingredients:
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, Greek yogurt (if using), chia seeds, almond or peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir well until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
  • Add Chocolate Chips:
  • Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

Notes

In the morning, give the oats a good stir. If the consistency is too thick, you can add a splash of milk to loosen it up.
Top with additional mini chocolate chips, a drizzle of almond or peanut butter, or even a sprinkle of crushed nuts if desired.
