Ingredients
  

Toppings:

  • Additional sliced cherries
  • Shaved or chopped dark chocolate

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, add the oats, milk, protein powder, cocoa, chia seeds, vanilla and maple syrup (if using). Stir until combined.
  • Add in 1 cup of diced cherries and fold into mixture.
  • Allow to sit in the fridge for at least eight hours or overnight.
  • Once thickened, divide mixture into four jars or bowls. Top with additional chopped cherries and shaved or chopped dark chocolate. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • If you use frozen cherries, you may wish to add slightly less milk since the liquid from the cherries will absorb into the overnight oats. Start with 2 cups of milk and add more as needed if the oats still seem too thick.
  • If you're not a fan of protein powders or don't want to buy a whole tub of it for the sake of this recipe, you can also sweeten the overnight oats with half to one tablespoon of maple syrup per serving depending on your personal preferences.
  • I like to use pre-shaved dark chocolate curls, which makes the overnight oats taste like black forest cake. If you can’t find this item, you can either shave the dark chocolate yourself using a vegetable peeler and a block of dark chocolate, or just chop up some dark chocolate to sprinkle on top.
