In a bowl or jar, combine oats, cocoa powder, chia seeds (if using), and salt. Mix well.

Stir in milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until fully combined.

Seal and refrigerate for at least 6–8 hours or overnight.

Notes

For a double chocolate version, stir in mini chocolate chips before refrigerating.

Add a scoop of chocolate protein powder or a swirl of Greek yogurt for extra protein.

Blend all ingredients before chilling for a silky texture that’s more like a pudding or smoothie.
