Method
 

  1. Mix the Ingredients:
  2. 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.
  3. Add Chocolate Chips:
  4. Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
  5. Transfer to Jar:
  6. Pour the mixture into a mason jar or an airtight container. If you like, you can sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top for added flavor.

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.
