Did someone say chocolate for breakfast??? I´M IN! I love this chocolate overnight oats breakfast, it´s quick and easy to make the night before and can be quickly assembled in the morning. This breakfast is a real treat – and it´s healthy at the same time!
The cocoa powder makes this breakfast extremely chocolatey and might I say adding a dollop of almond butter on top is the icing on the cake (oats)! This is my go-to breakfast on a morning where I know I will need a pick-me-up, I think I had this before all my exams this past exam period! 😊 And hey – I did well in them, it must have been this breakfast!
This is also perfect for making in a Tupperware and then having it for breakfast on the go. I have made this a few times before a 6am flight home, so that I could have a proper breakfast on the plane, and avoid spending £5 on a dodgy airport sandwich…
