1. In a jar or container, add 3/4 cup vanilla Greek yogurt, a pinch of fine sea salt, 1/3 cup steel-cut oats, 1 Tbsp chia seeds, 1 Tbsp maple syrup, and 1 Tbsp cocoa powder.
2. Stir everything really well with a spoon. A small whisk helps, but a spoon works just fine.
3. Make sure that the oats are pressed down lightly so everything is covered in the yogurt mixture, as it helps the steel-cut oats soften evenly.
4. Seal and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, but overnight is better. Steel-cut oats take a bit longer than rolled oats, so don’t rush this part.
5. When ready to eat, give it a good stir. If it’s thicker than you like, mix in 1 to 2 Tbsp milk or water until it loosens up.
6. Add toppings like berries or coconut right before serving. Frozen berries work great since they thaw overnight.

Optional chocolate shell topping

1. Melt 15 ml chopped chocolate with 1 tsp coconut oil until smooth.
2. Smooth the top of your oat mixture, add toppings like sliced strawberries or coconut, then pour the melted chocolate over.
3. Pop it back in the fridge for a few minutes. The chocolate will harden into a thin shell. It’s a bit extra, but worth it.
