Notes
Texture/taste Notes: An easy overnight oats with extra protein from tahini and chia seeds and deep chocolate flavor that will make breakfast taste like dessert. A sweet version of the make-ahead protein and fiber rich breakfast that is almost like a chocolate pudding. Easy to pull together in 10 minutes and prep up to 4 days in advance.
Tahini: Chocolate and vanilla mask most of the flavor of tahini in this recipe. For a more pronounced tahini flavor and extra protein, increase to 3 or 4 tbsp/45-60ml. Or replace with almond, peanut, or hazelnut butter – these will also have a more noticeable flavor.
