Overnight chocolate oats is a version of healthy breakfast overnight oats recipe. Oatmeal is a nutritious dish but by having it uncooked you can reap more health benefits from it. This overnight oatmeal is a perfect weight loss recipe too as it is filled with fiber and makes the person feel full for longer.
Let us see the ingredients to make this overnight oatmeal recipe:
- Oats – Oats is the star ingredient around which the entire recipe is based. I have used rolled oats in this recipe.
- Milk – I used normal milk in this healthy oats recipe. To make it healthier use slim milk. This will help the weight watchers too.
- Chocolate powder – Any type of chocolate powder can be used. You can even use cocoa powder. This is an optional ingredient and is used just to enhance the taste of the overnight oats.
- Honey – Instead of using sugar, I have used honey as a sweetener. This is also an optional ingredient. If you can consume the oats recipe without sugar, go ahead and have it without any sweetener. But please remember not to use any artificial sweeteners.
- Chia seeds – I have added chia seeds to add more fiber to the recipe. Chia seeds is also good for weight loss.
- Fresh fruit – Fresh fruits like banana, apple, strawberry, etc. can be used while serving or consuming overnight oats. This is also an optional ingredient. But to make your breakfast healthy, do try to have atleast 1 type of fresh fruit.
