  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1 tbsp shredded coconut
  • 1 tbsp sliced almonds
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey

Notes

  • You can substitute almond milk with any other milk like cow’s milk, soy, or oat milk according to preference or dietary restrictions.
  • For vegan option, use maple syrup instead of honey and a dairy-free yogurt alternative.
  • If you prefer a sweeter taste, add more maple syrup or honey to suit your palate.
  • Overnight oats can be prepared up to 3 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator for convenience.
  • To warm the oats, microwave them for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, adding a splash of milk to loosen the texture if needed.
