One of the main things people resolve to change in the new year is to be healthier! Of course, this can mean different things to different people. But, if to you “getting healthy” means eating better then read on! Today’s recipe comes from my friend Caitlin, of the blog Teaspoon Living, and is part of her Real Food First program. As Caitlin says, a good breakfast “can help set the tone for your day,” and if that includes chocolate then count me in!
Chocolate Peanut Butter Overnight Oats
Overnight oats are perfect to make when you know you are going to have a busy morning with no time to cook!
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup // 45g gluten free rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tblsp raw cacao powder
- 1 tblsp 100% natural peanut butter
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup // 250ml almond, rice or coconut milk
- Toppings: flax, pumpkin and/or sesame seeds, cacao nibs (optional), maple syrup or honey if needed
Directions:
Stir together the oats, chia, cacao powder, peanut butter, vanilla and milk. Cover and place in refrigerator overnight (or at least two hours)
In the morning, stir it again, taste it and add sweetener to your liking (this depends a lot on the sweetness of the milk you used). Top with your favorite seeds and cacao nibs if you have them.
