Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup of gluten-free rolled oats
- 1/4 cup cacao powder
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons almond butter
- 1 1/2 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- 1–2 tablespoons of real maple syrup
- Pinch of salt (less than 1/8 tsp)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the oats with the cacao powder and chia seeds and mix well
- Add the almond milk and maple syrup to the oat/cacao/chia seed mixture. Mix well. It may take a minute of mixing to get all of the clumps incorporated. The mixture should be smooth with no lumps.
- Add the almond butter and stir until incorporated.
- Refrigerate overnight (or at least 4 hours).
Notes
- If you want to add some additional protein, I would recommend 2 tablespoons of chocolate protein, but you may want to reduce the maple syrup if the protein contains a sweetener like stevia. Also, you will need to add about another 1/4 cup of liquid.
