Ferrero Rocher Overnight Oats

Have you ever thought about having Ferrero Rocher for breakfast, but in a healthier form? Your wishes are now fulfilled with these creamy chocolate hazelnut overnight oats!

Now, the question remains, is this a dessert or a breakfast? I would say it’s a dessert that is totally suitable for breakfast!

• It’s decadent: The crispy chocolate shell hides super creamy oats that are packed with chocolate and hazelnut flavor.
• It’s quick and super simple: Just 8 ingredients and about 20 minutes to prepare + chilling time.
• It’s perfect for meal prep: Simply double the recipe to have 4 servings that you can keep for the week!

🥣 How to Make It

Preparing these overnight oats will take you about 10 minutes and just 8 ingredients. Here is what you will need:

• Oats – I personally prefer rolled oats for their chewy texture, but you can definitely use quick oats.
• Almond milk – Use the unsweetened kind. For creamier oats, you can replace 1/4 of the almond milk with a plant-based yogurt like almond milk yogurt or cashew yogurt.
• Hazelnut butter – Use roasted hazelnut butter for a nutty and toasted flavor! This will give our oats their “Nutella-like” flavor.
• Maple syrup – To sweeten the oats. I went with maple syrup, but agave syrup or coconut nectar will work as well.
• Cacao powder – Use unsweetened cacao powder.
• Vanilla extract – For extra flavor and some freshness.
• Dark chocolate – We will melt dark chocolate to create a crispy shell on top of the oats. I recommend using 70% dark chocolate.
• Roasted hazelnuts – Optional; to add some crunch!

Overnight Oats

To prepare the oats, combine the rolled oats, hazelnut butter, almond milk, cacao powder, maple syrup, and vanilla in a bowl. Stir until fully combined.

At this point, you can taste and adjust the sweetness to your liking.

Chocolate Shell

Once your oats have thickened, it’s time to prepare the icing on the cake: the chocolate shell!

To do so, melt the dark chocolate over a double boiler. Once melted, stir in a couple of tablespoons of chopped roasted hazelnuts and stir to combine.

Pour the melted chocolate over the overnight oats and use the back of a spoon to spread it evenly. Refrigerate for another 30 minutes, and enjoy!

📔 Tips

• Do not make the chocolate shell too thick, or you will have trouble digging into it. It should be a very thin layer.
• For a completely naturally sweetened version, use coconut sugar-sweetened chocolate.
• Feel free to add a whole hazelnut in the middle of the overnight oats for some extra crunch!
