Indulgent chocolate covered strawberry overnight oats are a healthy and delicious breakfast to start the day. They’re the perfect Valentine’s Day morning treat!
GOOD MORNING! That’s what you’ll be saying every morning when you open up your refrigerator to this amazing breakfast! Seriously, this just might be your new favorite part of waking up. Step aside Folgers.
I realize I’m a little late to the overnight oats party. Breakfast is my favorite meal, and I just can’t understand why everyone doesn’t love to wake up and make eggs or a steaming bowl of oatmeal. BUT I know that some of you just are not morning people and would rather have something quick and easy in the morning before heading out the door.
So I jumped on the overnight oats train just for you. And I’m not a bit mad. These babies are amazing.
Despite the name, I kept this chocolate covered strawberry overnight oats recipe pretty simple, but bursting with flavor. The creamy chocolate oats with juicy strawberries is an amazing combination, topped off with cacao nibs for a little extra chocolately crunch. It’s an indulgent yet healthy way to start your day – and perfect for Valentine’s Day!
If you’re one of those people who likes a quick and easy breakfast in the morning, mix up a batch of these overnight oats at night and wake up to a healthy breakfast that’s ready to grab and go!
And, hellooooo, chocolate for breakfast? Yes please!

Yum!! Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day too đŸ™‚ And strawberries are absolutely my fav!
This is just perfect for Valentine’s Day breakfast treat! I am going to surprise my husband with this recipe! It’s so easy, he won’t even notice it!! We both love strawberries, and we don’t have a sweet-tooth, so the cocoa is just the right amount of chocolaty taste that we both love. Do you have any not-so-sweet, gluten-free dessert recipe that you can suggest? Thanks!
Thanks so much, Julie! I hope you and your husband enjoy! I have a gf flourless chocolate cookie recipe in my dessert archives that you may like!
what a wonderful recipe you have there! Thanks for sharing your ideas here. I will be trying this real soon. I really love strawberries. I don’t like very sweet dessert but if it’s with strawberries then I will be glad to try it. Sour and sweet tastes is perfect for me. By the way, can I add some almonds to this?
