Like eating dessert for breakfast only with health benefits.
Made with 2 of my favorite flavors, coffee and chocolate.
Overnight oats are a popular breakfast in Switzerland.
They were created by Dr. Maximillian Bircher for his patients in Zurich because it helps to slow digestion and feel fuller, longer.
1 c. rolled oats or old fashion oats
1 Tbls. chia seeds
2 Tbls. cocoa powder
3/4 c. unsweetened almond milk (regular milk is fine)
1/2 c. strong brewed coffee
2 Tbls. maple syrup
1 t. vanilla extract
1 Tbls. mini chocolate chips (add in the morning)
1 Tbls. additional mini chocolate chips
slivered almonds, roasted (optional)
unsweetened coconut (optional)
Place all ingredients, except chocolate chips and almonds, into a medium glass bowl or jar and mix to combine.
Cover and refrigerator overnight.
In the morning, stir in a few mini chocolate chips and top with additional mini chocolate chips and slivered almonds pr unsweetened coconut, if desired.
