Cozy hot chocolate overnight oats with a decadent chocolate cashew cream. Perfect for a quick meal prepped breakfast. Serve chilled or warm!
Hi, everyone!
This week I went “LIVE” for the first time on Instagram.
I love taking photos and I’ve gotten pretty comfortable in front of a lens, but put me in front of a video camera and I turn into jello.
Weird jello.
Naturally I was nervous, like, opening and closing blinds to check the lighting and reapplying lip balm nervous.
In the last few seconds before the camera went rolling, Harper ditched me on the couch.
But it was a lot of fun and I got to have a great conversation with one of my favorite brands.
The conversation took me out of my own head and reminded me to focus on communicating a message instead of obsessing on the perception of it.
It was a gentle reminder to myself to continue to do things that put me outside of my comfort zone.
Here’s one for you: Hot Chocolate Overnight Oats.
You’re going to love this easy and decadent blend to start off the day, paired with a creamy 3-ingredient chocolate cashew cream.
Throw it all in a jar and treat yourself to hot chocolate in the morning.
Comfort zones be darned!
Hot Chocolate in Overnight Oats
You guys.
How is it less than a month until Christmas?!
I got my haircut over the weekend and when my hair dresser handed me my Christmas card I was speechless in the spinning chair.
Not only because of the realization that, yes, Christmas is coming, but because I hadn’t written her card yet and won’t see her until the new year.
And here I was metaphorically patting myself on the for just having purchased my cards before December.
(Also, I’m thinking about cutting off all of my hair. But that’s a story for another day.)
Anyway, so things have been crazy, as I’m sure they have been for you, too, friend.
Enter Hot Chocolate Overnight Oats.
Modern Oats
Lately, I’ve been all about overnight oats (and I’m always all about hot chocolate).
They come together so quickly, and I’m actually starting to like the taste of them better than classic stovetop oats.
Soaking them keeps the “oat” intact, and prevents the unattractive “sludge” that sometimes happens when you make them on the stovetop.
I was really excited to try Modern Oats recently and I instantly loved their “Just Oats” blend, because, like it suggest, it’s just oats!
They come in convenient instant cups that are perfect for grab-and-go meals.
They’re also certified gluten free, which is something I always look for in my oatmeal.
How to Serve Hot Chocolate Overnight Oats
Enjoy these Hot Chocolate Overnight Oats as a quick breakfast that will make you feel cozy on the craziest mornings.
If you’re short on time and don’t want to use a blender, skip the Chocolate Cashew Cream and enjoy the rich chocolate-y oats as is.
Eat them chilled from the fridge or try them warm for a more authentic “hot chocolate” feel.
I like mine cold with fresh berries and lots of shaved dark chocolate, the darker the better!
Enjoy!
