Ingredients

The following ingredients have 2 Servings
  • 1/3 cup honey vanilla Greek yogurt (we love Greek Gods brand)
  • 2/3 cup milk (we use vanilla almond milk)
  • 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened coconut flakes
  • 1 and 1/2 tablespoons Dutch-process cocoa powder (we like Hershey's Special Dark cocoa powder)
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 and 1/2 tablespoons pure maple syrup ((See Note 1))
  • 1-2 drops almond extract, coconut extract, (optional (See Note 2))
  • Optional toppings: handful of roasted almonds, toasted coconut flakes, miniature chocolate chips, almond butter

Instruction

  • PREP THE OATS: In a small bowl, jar, or plastic container, stir together the yogurt, milk, oats, coconut flakes, cocoa powder, salt, and maple syrup. Add in the optional almond extract and coconut extract if you're using them.
  • STIR: Stir until all ingredients are well incorporated. Taste the mixture and add any additional maple syrup if needed.
  • CHILL: Cover the container and place in the fridge overnight or until sufficiently cooled and thickened. (Sometimes I'll even make them in the morning, get ready, and then go eat them -- they are great even after just 30 minutes in the fridge.)
  • OPTIONALLY TOP: Just before serving, top oats with some roasted almonds, coconut flakes, miniature chocolate chips, and/or a drizzle of almond butter.
  • OPTIONAL: TOASTING THE COCONUT: If desired, lightly toast coconut by placing it in a small skillet over medium heat. Stir constantly until lightly colored, golden brown, and fragrant.
