Crunchie Chocolate Overnight Oats - A Sweet, Make-Ahead Breakfast

Prep Time 10 minutes
Total Time 10 minutes
Servings 2 servings

Ingredients
  

  • Rolled oats (old-fashioned oats), 1/2 cup per serving
  • Milk of choice (dairy or non-dairy), 1/2–3/4 cup
  • Greek yogurt or dairy-free yogurt, 1/3 cup
  • Unsweetened cocoa powder, 1–1.5 tablespoons
  • Honey or maple syrup, 1–2 tablespoons
  • Chia seeds, 1 tablespoon (for thickness and fiber)
  • Vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon
  • Pinch of salt (enhances chocolate flavor)
  • Crunchie bar (or honeycomb toffee), chopped, 1–2 tablespoons for topping
  • Optional add-ins: mini chocolate chips, banana slices, peanut butter, espresso powder

Instructions
 

  • In a jar or bowl, mix the oats, chia seeds, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt until there are no cocoa clumps.
  • Add the milk, yogurt, vanilla, and honey. Stir well until smooth and evenly combined.
  • Adjust thickness: add a splash more milk if it looks too thick. It should be pourable but not watery.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight.
  • In the morning, give it a quick stir. If it’s thicker than you like, loosen with 1–2 tablespoons of milk.
  • Top with chopped Crunchie bar or honeycomb pieces just before eating so they stay crisp.
  • Optional: Add banana slices, a drizzle of peanut butter, or a sprinkle of mini chocolate chips for extra flair.
