This Overnight Chocolate Chia and Oats Pudding is a nutritious and delicious make-ahead breakfast or snack that combines creamy coconut milk, wholesome oats, chia seeds, rich raw cacao, and a hint of coffee for a delightful chocolate flavor. Naturally sweetened with maple syrup and flavored with vanilla, it offers a perfect balance of indulgence and health benefits.

Ingredients

Liquid Base

  • 2 Cups Coconut Milk

Dry Ingredients

  • ½ Cup Rolled/Instant Oats
  • ¼ Cup Chia Seeds
  • 3 Tablespoons Raw Cacao Powder
  • 2 Teaspoons Instant Coffee

Sweeteners and Flavorings

  • 3 Tablespoons Maple Syrup
  • 2 Teaspoons Vanilla Extract

Instructions

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, add the rolled or instant oats, chia seeds, raw cacao powder, and instant coffee. Stir well to evenly distribute all the dry ingredients.
  2. Add Liquid and Sweeteners: Pour in the coconut milk, then add the maple syrup and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until the cacao and coffee powders are fully incorporated and there are no clumps.
  3. Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the bowl or transfer the mixture to a sealed container. Place it in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow the chia seeds and oats to absorb the liquid and thicken into a creamy pudding.
  4. Serve: In the morning or when ready, stir the pudding once more. Serve chilled on its own or topped with fresh fruits, nuts, or seeds for added texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Use full-fat coconut milk for a creamier texture, or light coconut milk for a lower-calorie option.
  • If you prefer sweeter pudding, adjust maple syrup amount to taste.
  • Instant coffee enhances the chocolate flavor but can be omitted or replaced with espresso powder if desired.
  • Can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Rolling oats work better than instant oats for texture but either can be used.
