What’s better than chocolate for breakfast? Gooey rich double chocolate filled “brownie batter.” Oh, I haven’t even mentioned the best part…this is a healthy breakfast!
These brownie batter overnight oats is filled with oats and chia seeds to keep you energized for whatever your day throws at you. I’m not kidding you when I say eating a cup of this is reminiscent of liking out a bowl of brownie batter until its clean. (Does anyone else do this when you make brownies?) Unfortunately, polishing off a bowl of brownie batter before they even make it into the oven is not so healthy for you. So I try to stick to this brownie batter overnight oats recipe when those cravings strike!
I like to serve these brownie batter overnight oats in a cup with fresh fruit, or pack it up in a mason jar layered with raspberries or bananas. If I serve it up for dessert than it’s great with a dollop of whipped coconut cream,and grated chocolate on top!
Alright, let’s dive into this gooey goodness!

This is the first overnight oats recipe I really like!
I used the metric measurements, the cocoa with 60 grams seemed like too much, so I tried it with 30 grams and still had to add some dates as a sweetener, do you really use that much cocoa for just one portion?
So glad to hear you enjoyed it! The recipe calls for 1/4 cup of cocoa powder and it makes 2 servings.
It’s now the fourth time for me to make this recipe! It’s tasty, and keeping me full for approximately 5 h. With some thawed frozen berries it’s a perfect breakfast.
To be honest, I remember brownie batter differently, but it’s a nice attention getter – definitely worked for me😉
I personally use only 2/3 of the recommended cocoa amount, that is enough for my bowels. And I let everything soak overnight before blending, to go easy on my old food processor.
So happy you love it!
Fantastic! Thanks so much for sharing, I’m so happy to have your content very easy to made.
Glad you enjoyed!
I’ve made this several times because it’s so good (seriously, it tastes like brownie batter). As an experiment today, I threw it all in the blender instead of letting the chia seeds soak for an hour. It came out exactly the same! So delicious and easy!
I love to hear that! Thanks so much for sharing, I’m glad you enjoyed! 🙂
This is absolutely delicious! It hits the spot when you want something sweet, but great for you as well! Thank you for your genius culmination of healthy ingredients for this decadent pudding.
Thank you! It’s a great treat that feels like your eating something decedent, but really its healthy! Hope you enjoy it!
