    This Creamy Chocolate Chip Overnight Oats recipe takes minutes to make and is the perfect healthy breakfast or snack. My obsession with these oats continues…now with lots of chocolate and coconut cream!

    I can't stop making these oats. Β I love trying new recipes and flavors out and sharing them with you. Β These are so versatile and I love the fact that they only take minutes to prepare.

    I usually make 4 or 5 at a time to make my life easier in the mornings. Β And on the mornings that I go for a run I eat them AFTER my run so I have something to look forward to. Β 

    If you are looking for more recipes, you will love these Gingerbread Chocolate Overnight Oats, Pumpkin Spice Overnight Oats, Apple Pie Overnight Oats and this Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk Overnight Oats! These would all be evermore yummy with some Apple Chai Latte or some Low Carb Bulletproof Hot Chocolate!

    Why You Should Make These Overnight Oats

    So why do I love these oats so much? Β Let's put aside the fast that they are insanely delicious and I love the texture.

    But they are also super healthy too!  They are packed with protein and fiber that help keep you full, and they are gluten-free, dairy-free and vegan too (for all of my allergy friends).

    If you haven't already, try them! Β I bet you love them as much as I do. Β 

    And if you don't like the fact that your oats are cold (you literally take them out of the refrigerator and eat them!) then simply warm them up for a few minutes. Β Then come back and thank me πŸ™‚

    Recipe Tips and Ideas

    I am not a fan of coconut so I didn't add the optional shredded coconut topping.  I love coconut cream since it's vegan and has a wonderful, creamy texture, I just don't love a strong coconut taste.

    But by all means, add your shredded coconut!  Just try to get the unsweetened kind.  I think there is plenty of sweetness with the maple syrup and chocolate chips (of course!)

    I use the sugar free chocolate chips that are sweetened with stevia. They taste just as good and they are a great way to lower the sugar.

      Do you have the specific nutrients per serving? My son is on dialysis and we have to watch potassium, phosphorous, sodium etc.

      After some issues with baked oatmeal, I've returned to overnight oats. I felt a little ambitious and adventurous so I set this up as one of the recipes I'd do this week. Serendipitously, I found that whole fat coconut milk was on sale when I went to stock up! I wasn't sure how much cream would be in each can, so I bought 4... If nothing else, I'd have some for other stuff, right? lol (I've never worked with just the coconut cream before.) So anyway, I finally made 4 servings of this last night. I had NO IDEA there was so much cream in one can! I just kept digging... and digging... and it seemed like it would never end! Turns out over half the can is cream. A valuable lesson for someone aiming at dairy-free cooking/baking. So I used almond milk, vegan vanilla protein powder, and decided I'd see how it went with just 1 T of chia seeds. The oats were kinda hard to mix. They were really think and there were chunks of coconut cream that I kept having to mash and smear around to break down. lol As I have no experience with coconut cream, I was a little concerned that this would taste like coconut (a taste I'm not big on), but I hoped the protein powder and maple would work together to drown it out. So I ate the first one for breakfast this morning and... wow. I've never had a thicker oatmeal. lol It was like clay. I'm glad I didn't go with the 2 T of chia seeds or else I could've put the oats to work as construction material! lol It has a strange melt-in-your-mouth texture that I've never experienced before, likely due to that coconut cream. I'm glad there were chocolate chips in there to break up the texture, 'cause as a texture fiend I'm not sure I could've stomached the entire serving without 'em. I'm torn as to whether I'd want to add more almond milk to loosen up the goop a bit... However, my boyfriend (still fairly new to overnight oats) has deemed these his favorite so far! He says they're like fudge, something he can't normally have due to the dairy. And here I was concerned about what to do with the rest of that coconut cream! I plan on mass-producing more of this. πŸ˜€ Thanks so much for the recipe!

      Hi Lauren -

      Where do you get coconut cream? Or is it something you make? My daughter has a dairy allergy, so I've made lots of things with coconut milk, but I'm not familiar with this product.

        Hi Alyssa! I bought mine at Trader Joe's. You can leave it out if you can't find it but it does add a nice creamy texture!
