Ingredients in creamy Nutella overnight oats

organic old fashioned oats- I like to use organic old fashioned oats. I always grab a container of them each time I go to Trader Joe’s. I have not tested overnight oats with quick oats.

maple syrup– I prefer maple syrup for the sweetener since it’s natural and organic. However, feel free to use any type of sweetener that you’d like!

cacao powder– can also sub coco powder if you’d like!

Pinch of salt– to help balance out the flavors

chia seeds– help thicken the mixture and create a delicious, slightly creamy texture that holds everything together beautifully.

nutella– I use my homemade nutella recipe which you can find here. Otherwise, feel free to use store bought!

almond milk– can also sub any other type of nut milk or milk alternative!
