who doesn’t love to start their day with a little bit of chocolate? this almond joy overnight oats recipe is a healthy way for you to have chocolate for breakfast. i was initially inspired to create this recipe after having a bowl from soho juice co in tampa, florida! however, i soon realized that i wouldn’t be able to have this overnight oats bowl on the daily after i left florida…so i decided to create my own version and here we are!
i have to be honest, i have never made overnight oats before creating this recipe. i have always been a skeptic when it came to overnight oats. would the texture be good and the most important question, would i even like it?! but oh boy…this baby came out SO GOOD! this recipe tastes exactly like eating an almond joy but, the only difference? it’s good for you! isn’t that something?! i just love the combination of the coconut and chocolate to create the perfect flavor combination within the overnight oats. then you add almonds to top it off and you get that perfect crunch factor too. now i think that’s what they call a triple threat!
so grab your oats and let’s get rollin’ with it…

- 1 tbsp almond slices / slivers for topping (use this amount per bowl made)
- 1 tbsp coconut flakes for topping (use this amount per bowl made)
Instructions
- get a large mason jar out, this is where you will put and mix all of your ingredients
- add the oats, coconut flakes, mini chocolate chips, chia seeds, almonds and cinnamon into the mason jar
- add in the almond milk, vanilla extract and maple syrup on top
- mix it all together with a spoon
- put the mason jar top on and give it a little shake to finish combining all the ingredients

notes
- recommendation : use mini chips so that the chocolate flavor isn’t overwhelming and you get the perfect amount in every bite
- recommendation : i like to top my bowl with extra coconut + almond slivers to enhance the flavors already in the overnight oats. i also like to add banana slices for an extra layer of flavor – it fits right in!
