Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
Wet Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups milk of choice (dairy or non-dairy)
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Toppings
- ¼ cup crushed graham crackers
- ¼ cup mini marshmallows
- ¼ cup chocolate chunks or chips
Instructions
- Mix the dry base: In a small mixing bowl, combine 1 cup rolled oats, 2 tablespoons cocoa powder, and 2 tablespoons chia seeds. Stir well until the cocoa powder is evenly distributed throughout the oats and chia seeds.
- Add the liquids: Pour in 1 ½ cups of your chosen milk along with ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, then drizzle 2 tablespoons of maple syrup over the mixture. Stir thoroughly to combine all ingredients and ensure no cocoa clumps remain.
- Transfer to jars: Evenly divide the mixture between two 8-ounce jars or containers, leaving space at the top to add crunchy toppings after chilling.
- Chill overnight: Seal the jars with lids and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or ideally overnight to allow the oats to fully soften and absorb the flavors.
- Add s’mores toppings: Just before serving, top each jar with 2 tablespoons crushed graham crackers, 2 tablespoons mini marshmallows, and 2 tablespoons chocolate chunks. Optionally drizzle with chocolate sauce for extra indulgence, and serve.
Notes
- Use rolled oats for best texture; avoid quick oats as they become too mushy.
- Don’t skip on the cocoa powder to achieve a rich chocolate flavor.
- Chilling the oats overnight (minimum 6 hours) is crucial for proper softening.
- Add the crunchy toppings right before eating to keep their texture.
- Stir the oats well before serving to mix all flavors evenly.
- Make up to 3 days in advance and store in sealed jars in the fridge.
- Substitute maple syrup with honey or agave for different sweetness.
- Use any milk preference including plant-based options; add peanut butter for a richer taste.
- Make it vegan by using plant-based milk and vegan marshmallows.
