These Chocolate Nut Butter Overnight Oats are the ultimate breakfast comfort food. Just 5 minutes to throw together, they'll satisfy any sweet breakfast cravings!
Everyone has their own overnight oats recipe, and this is mine.
I love anything chocolatey so it seemed only right to add cacao to these oats. Mixed with creamy almond or coconut milk, it's a delicious treat for your morning meal!
The toppings are where it gets really decadent though.
Fresh strawberries, cacao nibs, hazelnuts and a big dollop of creamy almond butter take this meal to the next level and make it a visual treat as well as one for the tastebuds.
WHY YOU'LL LOVE THESE OVERNIGHT OATS

They're also incredibly simple to make, as all you have to do is mix the ingredients together and store in the fridge overnight.
A simple, nutritious and delicious breakfast? What more could you want?!

Found this recipe on Instagram. It looked so delicious and appealing, so I thought I‘d prepare it at home.
It is so hard to find an exciting gluten-free and dairy-free recipe that is not over-the-top but is still special. It really is.
This recipe turned out to be such an easy one to make and was a lovely breakfast for three days.
I actually put different nuts and fruit on top each day. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Will prepare this overnight oats recipe in the future. Definitely. ❤️
