Why you’ll love this recipe
- The ingredient combination. Chocolate-hazelnut spread, rolled oats and almond milk form the base of this overnight.
- Breakfast can start the night before. The oats soften during the refrigerated rest instead of requiring a morning cook.
- A defined yield. The card makes 1 serving. Use its serving control to scale ingredient amounts, then reassess pan space and cooking time.
Items needed
Gather the tools for the method you plan to use. Alternate cooking methods may need different appliances.
- Lidded jar or container
- Knife and cutting board
- Measuring cups and spoons
Ingredient notes
- Protein ingredient. Use the stated protein powder. Changing the type or brand can change both texture and nutrition.

Let us know how it was!Preferred products
Milk: MALK or So Delicious unsweetened beverage where suitable. These do not provide the same protein as protein milk; keep canned coconut milk where specified.
Plant protein: Wellious almond protein or plain pumpkin-seed protein powder. Match the flavor; powders differ in absorption and nutrition, so they are not automatically scoop-for-scoop substitutes.
These are shopping options; the recipe’s estimated nutrition may use a different product. Substitutions change nutrition and may affect texture. Choosing one dairy-free or gluten-free ingredient does not make the whole recipe dairy-free or gluten-free. See Mel’s preferred products and photos.
Tips for this recipe
- Start with the listed liquid amount. Extra liquid changes thickness; seeds and oats also continue to absorb liquid while they rest.
- When scaling the recipe, increase ingredients together but keep the same doneness checks. A larger batch does not necessarily cook in the same time.
Serving suggestions
Stir the chilled oats before serving. Keep any toppings not listed in the card separate from the stated recipe nutrition.
Storage and make-ahead
Keep the prepared mixture covered in the refrigerator at 40°F or below. Follow any storage limit in the recipe notes and the shortest opened-product guidance for the milk or yogurt you use. Add crisp toppings close to serving.
Common questions
Can I skip the resting time?
The rest lets the seeds or oats absorb liquid. Follow the minimum rest in the method; serving it earlier will give a different texture.
