A good for you recipe that tastes like you’re eating dessert for breakfast.
Good morning!
Last minute change of plans. I had every intention of sharing an awesome feels-so-good stretch routine. Then, I received a very convincing email asking for a short morning specific stretch routine. And, since that very thing is on my to-blog list I decided to go with ooey gooey chocolate goodness today and a stretch routine some time next week. Sound good?
Chocolate yumminess and good for you? Life doesn’t get any better than that!
Make this tonight and have it for breakfast tomorrow. If you’re a chocolate fan, I promise you’re going to love the gooey goodness of this recipe.
Enjoy a breakfast that tastes like dessert, is high in protein, gluten free and delicious.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup gluten free rolled oats
- 1/2 cup almond milk
- 2 ozs plain yogurt
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 tablespoon agave nectar
- 1 scoop Skoop B-Strong vanilla protein powder
- 1 tablespoon walnuts, chopped
- 1/2 tablespoon dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Combine the milk, oats, yogurt, cocoa powder and agave in a bowl or jar and mix well.
- Cover and refrigerate overnight.
- To serve, stir and top with walnuts, chocolate chips and a dollop of plain yogurt (optional)
- Serve cold or warm (if serving warm add the toppings after the oats have been warmed in the microwave).

Hi Jenna, have you tried the overnight oats yet? I’d love to know if you like them. Thanks!
Yum, all of my favorites in one bowl! Isn’t skoop the best
It’s the only protein powder I use now that I’ve played with adding cocoa or cacao when I want chocolate. #skoopaday
This looks incredible and way to good to be true. I’m going to have to give this brownie batter a try.
Thank you Allie. Have you tried the brownie overnight oats? I’d love to know what you think. It looks too good to be true but it isn’t 🙂

Hi Wendy, if your youngest likes chocolate this will do the trick. Let me know how it goes 🙂
OMG, that looks delish. I’m a huge overnight oats fan!
Me too Lauren. Actually, it’s been an obsession lately. I can’t wait to share the next recipe. Hopefully next week if I can find time to make and take photos. Thanks.
I would be SO FRIGGIN’ excited to wake up to eat these in the AM. More excited than a kid awaiting Santa’s gifts on XMAS morning!
Gigi this is better than Santa!
Yum! This looks delicious. I’m not a big yogurt person so I woukd say ‘nay’ to the yogurt. And definitely served warm. Thanks for another yummy recipe!
Happy to share Amanda. It’s good with or without the yogurt. Cold is good but warmed is the best way to eat it.
This looks SO good, Jill! I’ve never seen overnight oats actually look appetizing to be honest haha!
It tastes as good as it looks Janelle. Let me know if you try it 🙂
How about making this in the morning for an after-dinner snack/dessert? Is it too carby too late in the day?
Hi Lola, actually if you make it 2 servings it’s a great snack in the afternoon. It’s great anytime!
I love love love my oats every morning! Always looking for new ways to make them.. can’t wait to try this one out 🙂

All I need to do is take the photos. Hopefully this week. Next week at the latest. Enjoy the brownie batter for breakfast 🙂
I’m drooling now! This looks amazing, Jill! 🙂
Jen you have to try it! And let me know what you think 🙂 Thanks.
These sound fantastic and look so indulgent but I love the fact that they are actually quite healthy!
Hi Corina, in this case looks are deceiving. Enjoy!
Wow this sounds amazing, and I love that it doesn’t involve any baking – less opportunity for me to mess it up!
Hi Markita. Keep it simple with no bake whenever you can.
YUM – delicious recipe and beautiful photos, Jill! Cocoa powder adds such a depth of flavor to oats and yogurt – a healthy way to enjoy some chocolate. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you Laura and always happy to share oat love! xoxo
YUMMY!! I haven’t been doing oats in the morning, but they are my go to pre-workout snack lately! But to think I can have brownie batter for breakfast… hmmm that’s convincing me to change my routine!!
It’s time to switch things up Sam. Beginning with this recipe 🙂
Yum! I think I would like it served warm. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Jill. Cold is good but warm is the best way to eat ONO. So yummy!
This looks so tasty! Thanks for posting!
Happy to share Margo!
I just got into overnight oats, like last week, and I love them! I like to make a bigger batch and then reheat each morning so I have a bowl of hot oats ready in a minute! I can’t wait to try this recipe!
Hi Kate, have you tried the Brownie Batter ONO recipe? Good isn’t it!
Drooling over here!!! YUMMMMM!!!
Enjoy Nicole!
This looks good! I love chocolate with peanut butter the best. I prefer my oats warm too.
Hi Ivanna, that is one of my favorite flavor combinations! Cold is good with ONO but warm is the best way to this recipe. Thanks.
Yeah. I can get right on board with this. Yum.
Happy to have the company 🙂
This sounds absolutely delicious! Are you sure that its healthy?!? 🙂
In this case looks are deceiving kathryn! Enjoy 🙂
Yummy in my tummy!!! I haven’t been using yogurt in my overnight oats, rather I have been using chia seeds and unsweetened almond milk to get it creamy…Works perfectly! Thanks for sharing this delicious recipe! XOXO
Happy to share the oat love! xoxo
This looks yummy! I think I should have it for dessert tonight though. ;o)
Dessert. Breakfast. Brownie Batter ONO is good anytime! Have you tried the recipe? Good isn’t it!
This looks so delicious and I’ve got Skoop calling to me from the pantry too. Yes to the yogurt!
You might as well use your Skoop for this bowl of goodness 🙂 The yogurt topping is so creamy and good with the chocolate.
This sounds so amazingly delicious!! I even have a sample pack of Skoop B Strong in my cupboard! I think it was meant to be 😀
Ariana, have you tried the ONO with Skoop yet? Good isn’t it!
Well I dont’ know about anyone else, but I’d much rather see that than stretching LOL YUmmmy
Really? Haha! The stretches are coming. I need to find time to take photos and I’ll be ready to share 🙂
omg, look at those photos! gorgeous – and drool-worthy!
Thanks Jessica! I appreciate your kind words.
These look awesome, Jill!!!
Hi Sam. Can I brag a little and say it is awesome 🙂
Jill, first of all: congratulations on this gorgeous new look of your blog. It looked awesome before, and now even better.
I made last week a recipe with chocolate that I’ll be sharing soon on the blog. I love chocolate even though I don’t crave for it anymore.
Have a fabulous day!
Thank you Debbie. I’m so happy with how the rebranding turned out.
Wow, this looks decadent and sinful, but the ingredients suggest it is healthy! Thanks for sharing this!
Hi Kelli, in this case looks are deceiving! Enjoy 🙂
I’m always up for new oatmeal recipes and this looks so delicious!
Hi Ilka, if you like oats and chocolate you’re going to love this!
This looks absolutely divine! You had me at brownie.
Brownie always gets me too Katie 🙂
Mmmm looks fantastic, Jill! Annnd LOVE the layout/theme/look of your site!!
Thank you Jess! xoxo
You had me at “brownie batter.” Yum!
That would get me too Tara 🙂
Amazing deliciousness!!! This recipe is amazing. I need to make it this week 🙂 P.S. I love your new blog logo!
Thanks Amy! Have you tried the ONO yet? I’d love to know what you think 🙂
Holla! You had me at brownie, and then you added oatmeal. WHOA. haha. I have been in love with raw cacao powder lately, but I haven’t used it in this way. Thanks, Lovely! #fitfamlove #thefitdish
Hi Jess, you can’t go wrong with cocoa and oats. Serious goodness in a bowl! Thanks friend. xoxo
I have yet to try overnight oats. Texture is kind of a big deal for me so I worry that it would be too mushy. I really need to try it and figure it out! This does look yummy!
Make this your first ONO experience Sue! And let me know what you think 🙂
I have to admit that looks pretty delish and awesome. I’m always looking for creative ways to eat oatmeal.
Found you from the Get It Together Link Up Party! This is so yummy and very easy to make! Would definitely give it a try. Lots of love from Pink Heart String <3
This looks delicious and I’m all about saving time in the morning! Thanks for sharing this recipe!
Jill can I just tell you I am desperately trying to lose the last few extra pounds of baby weight I am carrying, and I am a choco-aholic! This just might suppress my appetite for chocolate! Thanks for sharing! #BloggersPitStop
This looks heavenly! I am definitely more of a warm oatmeal person, and as for yogurt… Maybe on the side. This is definitely on my “to-make” list. I am getting a little bored with my plain oats and cinnamon.
Hi Jill,
Great to see you at the Blogger’s Pit Stop. Thanks for leaving your recipe last week.
Janice, Pit Stop Crew
This sounds SO amazing! And simple, and with healthy ingredients! I’m in love, can’t wait to try!
I looove overnight oats!! i need to buy some more cocoa powder so I can make these! i also like to use coconut yogurt in my overnight oats to make them extra creamy!
Oh my goodness! I could jump right into that bowl 🙂
Oh my goodness YUM! These oats look so good!!! I love anything that tastes like a brownie!
I’ll eat them both warm or cold – it just depends on how I feel that day. Sometimes a warm bowl of oatmeal is exactly what I need 🙂
I happen to have all these ingredients in my pantry and may just need to try this tonight!
This looks so delicious! I think I need to try it this week with coconut yogurt.
This looks so great! I love finding new overnight oats recipes to experiment with!
Love this picture!! And this looks sooo good! I love creamy oats too
Life really doesn’t get much better than having chocolate for breakfast. Especially when it’s healthy. I like that there is plain yogurt in this to power up the protein content. Wonderful!
