Ingredients
- 1/3 cup rolled oats

Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, add the rolled oats, chia seeds, cocoa powder, ground cinnamon (if using), and salt. Stir until everything is well combined.
- Pour in your choice of milk and sweetener. Stir again to combine all the ingredients thoroughly, ensuring that the dry ingredients are fully moistened.
- Once mixed, transfer the oat mixture into a jar or container with a lid. This makes it easy to store in the refrigerator overnight.
- Seal the jar and place it in the refrigerator. Let the oats sit overnight (or at least for 4-6 hours) to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and soften.
- In the morning, give the oats a good stir. You can eat them cold straight from the jar or warm them up in the microwave for about 30 seconds. Top with your favorite toppings and enjoy!
