Chocolate Raspberry Overnight Oats
Chocolate Raspberry Overnight Oats
If you love the rich flavor of chocolate paired with bright, fresh berries, these Chocolate Raspberry Overnight Oats are a beautiful and delicious way to start the day. Creamy oats are mixed with cocoa powder to create a rich chocolate base, then fresh raspberries are folded in for a burst of sweet-tart flavor.
The contrast between the deep chocolate oats and the vibrant raspberries makes this breakfast both flavorful and visually stunning. Fresh raspberries mixed into the oats soften slightly overnight while still maintaining their bright flavor.
Topped with extra raspberries in the morning, this breakfast feels a little indulgent but is still simple enough for everyday mornings.

Ingredients
• ½ cup old-fashioned rolled oats
• ½ cup milk (any kind works)
• ¼ cup Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon cocoa powder

How to Make Chocolate Raspberry Overnight Oats
Step 1: Mix the oats
In a mason jar or bowl, combine the oats, milk, Greek yogurt, cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
Stir well until the cocoa powder is fully blended into the oats.
Step 2: Add the raspberries
Gently fold the fresh raspberries into the oat mixture.
Some raspberries may break slightly, which helps release their flavor into the oats.
Step 3: Refrigerate overnight
Cover the container and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
During this time, the oats soften and absorb the chocolate flavor while the raspberries add sweetness and brightness.
Step 4: Serve
In the morning, stir the oats well. If the mixture is thicker than you prefer, add a splash of milk.
Top with extra fresh raspberries for a beautiful and flavorful finish.
