Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by placing dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and heat it in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until completely melted and smooth. Allow to cool slightly.
  2. In a mason jar or an airtight container, mix together oats, milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.
  3. Drizzle in your chosen sweetener, like maple syrup or honey, then pour in the cooled, melted dark chocolate, stirring to incorporate.
  4. Carefully fold in semisweet chocolate chips to enrich the mixture, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
  5. Seal your container tightly and refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours or ideally overnight.
  6. Before serving, give the oats a good stir and add optional toppings like melted chocolate, chocolate chips, or cocoa powder.
