Delicious! I was worried 2 tbsp of cocoa powder would be too sweet but it was the perfect amount of chocolate taste, ratio of all the ingredients was perfect. And perfectly filling.
★★★★★
This was delicious! I just left out the nut butter and used date paste as sweetener and only one tbsp of cocoa, topped it with berries. I ate half of it when my kid decided its hers, she also loved it
★★★★★
Too much cocoa. I can barely eat it. Cocoa super super strong. I will have to try it with protein powder next time or way less cocoa as this is barely edible. Also can’t taste the cashew butter as the cocoa is overpowering
★★
this seems so delicious! -can I ask for the ingredients ?
The ingredients are all listed in the recipe above! Enjoy 🙂
This is extremely yummy. I’ve made it twice so far. This morning I topped it with bananas when I arrived to work…
Can I omit the oats and the recipe still turn out? Thanks!
Its great to see mix with chocolate and healthly chia seeds. It looks brilliant.
Hah, I eat chocolate for breakfast quite a lot… haven’t seen a chia pudding fused with overnight oats before, will have to give this one a shot!
Awesome, I train a lot in CrossFit so I am going to try this recipe with some icon grass fed whey protein powder. Will let you know what it was like! Love the blog, thank you! Kevin
Mmmm … caaashhhewww bbuuuutttter!!! Love it!! Overnight oats are a fave, but I haven’t tried with chia seeds! Guess what I’m making?? 🙂 Pinning quick-quick to share!!

I love cashew butter but I never thought to mix it with chocolate!
That looks yummy – I have never tried cashew butter, but I have seen it in my local Health Food shop, you have inspired me to try it.
I LOVE cashew everything, especially cashew butter. They are the best nut by a mile 🙂
Hundred per cent making this for breakfast soon!
I just made pb2/carob chia overnight oats for tomorrow so we are on the same wavelength. I love the chia seeds because they make the texture a lot smoother. Cashew butter is the only nut butter I haven’t tried and I’m dying to. Now I have my next overnight oats recipe!
