Can I eat these warm?

Absolutely! While they are designed to be cool and refreshing, you can pop them in the microwave for 30-60 seconds. ♨️ This softens the oats further and makes it feel like 'instant' oatmeal, but way healthier. *Pro-Tip:* Add a splash of milk before heating so it doesn't dry out! 🥛

My oats are too thick/runny, what do I do?

Texture is personal! If it's too thick, simply stir in a splash of milk or water until it's perfect. If it's too runny, let it sit for another hour or stir in a teaspoon of chia seeds. *Pro-Tip:* I love mine thick like pudding, but my husband loves them looser—adjust until it makes *your* morning happy! ✨

Can I make this without protein powder?

Of course! You can replace the protein powder with an equal amount of oat flour or almond flour to keep the texture thick and creamy. 🥣 *Pro-Tip:* If you skip the powder, add a drop of vanilla extract or maple syrup to maintain that dessert-like flavor profile we love! 🍯

Do I really need chia seeds?

They aren't strictly necessary for flavor, but they are the secret to that thick, pudding-like consistency! 🍮 They act as a powerful binder. *Pro-Tip:* If you don't have them, try ground flaxseeds or just use slightly less liquid so your oats aren't runny. ✨

Can I make this dairy-free?

Easily! Just swap the yogurt for your favorite plant-based alternative like coconut or soy yogurt. 🥥 The texture works just as well. *Pro-Tip:* Coconut yogurt is naturally thicker, so it makes for an extra indulgent, creamy result! 🌱

If you dream of Nutella, this is for you. 🌰🍫 Chocolate Hazelnut Overnight Oats is rich, nutty, and velvety. We use real toasted hazelnuts or spread to infuse every bite with that classic flavor profile. It is like eating dessert, but better for you! 🌟 The crunch of the hazelnuts against the creamy oats creates a texture that keeps you coming back for more. It satisfies that deep, primal craving for fat and sugar but delivers it in a package that fuels your brain and body. 🥄

SOMMELIER NOTES

"Roasting the hazelnuts (or using roasted spread) is key. The Maillard reaction creates complex nutty aroma compounds (pyrazines) that stand up to the strong flavor of the cocoa powder. Without roasting, raw hazelnuts would be completely overpowered by the chocolate. Detailed roasting releases the oils, making the nut flavor permeate the milk more effectively, creating a cohesive 'gianduja' flavor."

Heart Health

Hazelnuts are rich in healthy monounsaturated fats and oleic acid, similar to olive oil. They are fantastic for supporting heart health and lowering bad cholesterol levels when consumed as part of a balanced diet.

Texture Tip

Chop the nuts finely for better distribution throughout the oats. If the pieces are too big, they will fall to the bottom. Ideally, you want a little bit of crunch in every single spoonful.

The Friendly Swap

Add a shot of espresso to the liquid mix for a 'mocha hazelnut latte' vibe. The coffee enhances the chocolate flavor and adds a deeper, more sophisticated dimension to the sweetness.

Frequently Asked Questions

These stay fresh and delicious for up to 4-5 days in an airtight container! 📅 The oats actually get creamier the longer they sit as they absorb more liquid. *Pro-Tip:* If I'm prepping for the whole week, I like to add fresh fruit or crunchy toppings right before eating so they keep their snap! 🍓
