If you are bored of having the same breakfast every day. Then you need to try, what I call… Dessert for breakfast! This is my Ultimate Funfetti Double Chocolate Overnight Oats you have to make.
It’s a fun way to enjoy the best meal of the day aka breakfast! It’s high in protein and fiber, so you will be satisfied after having this bowl.
What are overnight oats?
I could call them a “time saver super-food” because you just need to add all the ingredients into a container or mason jar, refrigerate overnight (so the oats can soak with the liquid) and breakfast is ready next morning. They are generally served chilled but if you prefer to eat it warm, microwave for 45-60 seconds.
I discovered Overnight Oats when I was in my Sophomore year of Uni while studying Civil Engineering! My classes used to start at 7:00 A.M. so I needed to make a “Grab & Go” breakfast. I needed something filling so I wouldn’t get hungry in a few hours, especially when I had a test or exam!
Microwave oatmeal was my fastest breakfast but it was still taking me time. So I decided to make it overnight! Since then, it has been my all time go-to breakfast.
What you’ll need for this Ultimate Funfetti Double Chocolate Overnight Oats
The list:
- Oats – I used rolled oats. They have a chewier texture and soak well overnight without having a mushy consistency. But, feel free to use any type of oats like, quick oats, just add less milk.
- Unsweetened cacao powder – Why unsweetened? Because you will be adding sweetener later on.
- Chocolate protein powder – For extra packed protein intake. Replace with more unsweetened cacao powder and sweetener.
- Milk – I used unsweetened almond milk but you can use any other kind of plant-based or dairy milk.
- Coconut oil – Unrefined or refined coconut oil works! Or use melted butter.
- Sugar free white chocolate
- Sprinkles
That’s it! So minimal, simple and delicious!
