Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 2 1/2 cups unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 cup whole-milk plain strained Greek-style yogurt
  • 1/4 cup smooth natural almond butter
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon Himalayan pink salt
  • 1 tablespoon unrefined coconut oil
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons mini semisweet chocolate chips divided
  • 1 tablespoon cacao nibs

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, whisk together oats, almond milk, yogurt, almond butter, chia seeds, cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined. Let it sit for 5-8 minutes until thickened.
  • In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine coconut oil and 2 tablespoons of chocolate chips. Microwave on High for 30 seconds, then stir until the chocolate chips are melted and mixed with the oil.
  • Divide the oat mixture evenly among 4 (8-ounce) jars, filling each about 1 cup. Drizzle about 2 teaspoons of the melted chocolate chip mixture over the oats in each jar, ensuring the surface is covered. Sprinkle cacao nibs and the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons of chocolate chips on top.
  • Allow the chocolate layer to set for about 2 minutes, then cover the jars with lids. Refrigerate for at least 12 hours, or up to 4 days.
