Brownie Batter Overnight Oats

Fingers crossed that spring is finally here to stay. I hope you all took advantage of this weather and spent some time outside soaking in the beautiful sunshine. 

This next recipe comes to you from Angela Pipetone, a recent addition to the SB Barre Squad. Overnight oats are a great way to spice up your typical bowl of morning oatmeal. Plus...since you prep these the night before you can just grab-n-go in the morning so there's no excuse for skipping breakfast. Try this recipe and you'll be hooked.  

Enjoy...

Brownie Batter Overnight Oats

Servings: 2

Mix the following dry ingredients together:

1 cup rolled oats

3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

1 tablespoon chia seeds

pinch of salt

Add the following wet ingredients and combine:

1 cup almond milk (I used Blue Diamond unsweetened vanilla almond cashew milk which is my jam)

2 tablespoons maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup yogurt (I used So Delicious coconut but any kind could be used)

Combine well and add to a sealed container, refrigerating for at least 2 hours - overnight of course is best!  Serve cold in the morning topped with yogurt and your favorite fruit, but it's great just as it is too.  I calculated the nutrition information at work and each serving packs 10 grams of fiber and 8-11 grams of protein depending on what kind of yogurt you use.

Thanks Angela for sharing.
