I love overnight oats, especially chocolate berry overnight oats! What about you?
When I was a kid, one of my favorite things to have for dinner was breakfast foods. Still is for that matter. There is nothing like pancakes or French toast or better yet, warm oatmeal at dinnertime.
My mom used to make a huge batch, dole it out and pour some milk onto it along with spoonfuls of sugar.
I don’t sweeten my oatmeal with sugar anymore. Nowadays, I put maple syrup on it! But I still love eating it for supper.
How to make chocolate berry overnight oats
We have rolled oats, protein powder, cocoa powder, milk and yogurt.
Here’s a fun fact, instead of yogurt, you can replace it with kefir. My friend Helen has a great post on how to make milk kefir.
I grab my Ball jar and place the oats, protein powder and cocoa powder in it.
Next up are the yogurt and milk, which I add to the jar.
I take my trusty spoon and stir the ingredients together.
Time to cap the jar and put it in the refrigerator overnight.
Fast forward around 12 hours.
Oh so berry good
Time to prepare the fruit! I get my raspberries, blueberries and strawberries.
I wash the berries I want to include in my overnight oats and take out the oats, along with a clean Ball jar.
I spoon half of the overnight oats into the clean jar and place half of the berries into it.
I spoon the rest of the chocolate overnight oats on top of the berries.
Peek a boo, berries!
Next, I add the rest of the berries on top. Oh, and I sprinkle some nuts on top of that.
We are ready to eat, everyone. Well, at least I am. But first, let’s see another photo of the chocolate berry overnight oats.
I hope you enjoyed this recipe.

Can you believe I have never made overnight oats. Well I am Scottish and we make porridge with our oats in the morning. Wish I hadn’t read your story, now I will be peering at my oats.
Elaine
Jacqueline! Oops. Don’t worry about that. I’m sure it’s rare now. 🙂 I love porridge too!
Valentina
I can’t believe I’ve never made overnight oats! I must! And having seen this, I’m feeling inspired now. I love all of the fresh fruit in the jar. 🙂
Elaine
Valentina! It’s so yummy!! I’ll take any excuse to have chocolate for breakfast.
Lisa Bryan

Elaine
Thanks Lisa! It’s so good!

‘Wellfare food’ — ah yes, I remember eating random things from food deliveries like that! I think the oddest combination was when I used to eat BBQ sauce on saltine crackers all the time- just because there were a lot of them in the house! Your dead bug story reminds me of the scene in Anne of Green Gables where a mouse got into the food and she didn’t tell anyone lol. This looks delicious btw- I love oats!
Elaine
Sarah. I forgot about the saltines. We got those too! I love that scene in Ann of Green Gables! Deliciously scary!
Emily
I have never made overnight oats before but I think I’m going to have to make this recipe- it almost looks like a dessert! And your photographs are beautiful!
Elaine
Thank you so much Emily!
Beth
Very funny story, Elaine! I once sent my son to Kindergarten with raisins for snack time. Didn’t see the moth larvae in them… Ooops! Beautiful images as always! Great idea for oats! Love those berries!
Elaine
Thanks Beth!! I appreciate it!
