In a mason jar or bowl, mix almond milk, cacao powder, maple syrup, chia seeds, and Nutella until well incorporated.
Add in oats and salt, mix until combined.
Cover and store in the fridge overnight.
The next day, top with fresh strawberries slices, almond butter and some hazelnuts or any other toppings of choice and enjoy!
Notes
Refrigerate your Nutella Overnight Oats for at least a day before serving; it promises a more flavorful experience.
Season your old-fashioned oats with kosher salt to improve their flavor.
Do not exceed the right amount of cocoa powder as it may overwhelm the chocolatey taste of Nutella.
Add slices of ripe bananas instead of fresh strawberries. However, if you want this dish to be more fruity, you can add both strawberries and bananas as toppings.
Macadamia nuts, with their crispy and crunchy texture and nutty flavor are a good substitute for hazelnuts. You may use macadamia nuts for toppings.
Almond milk contributes a nutty and milk flavor to the recipe, but it is less creamy. If you want a thicker and creamier consistency, swap this with whole milk.
