    Dark Chocolate Hazelnut Raspberry Overnight Oats

    Celebrate Whole Grains Month with a breakfast of dark chocolate hazelnut raspberry overnight oats. If you are a fan of Nutella, try this recipe to get all of your favorite flavors without the added sugar. This satisfying meal is a great way to enjoy the last of summer’s fresh raspberries. The Greek yogurt provides enough protein to carry you through until lunch.

    Dark Chocolate Hazelnut Raspberry Overnight Oats - side view of jar and top view

    I’m sad that berry season is coming to an end. My sadness might have something to do with my current obsession with the flavor combination of raspberries, cocoa, and hazelnuts. I suppose I need to enjoy these seasonal and fiber-packed fruits while I can.

    These overnight oats are not extremely sweet, but I find them to be very filling. Dark cocoa powder tends to be a bit bitter, and the mashed banana serves to temper the bitterness. I recommend not skipping the banana in this recipe unless your taste buds are very different than mine.

    You may remember chocolate being mentioned as one of the most addictive foods in a previous article. I noticed that I am less likely to overeat chocolate items when they do not contain added sugar. Without the sugar, I find chocolate to be a far more satisfying addition to my food, and still delicious.

    It may taste like dessert, but you are getting whole grains here

    September is Whole Grains Month, and oatmeal is one of the most convenient whole grains around. Did you know that pretty much all of the forms of oatmeal sold count as a whole grain? The rolled oats here were flattened for faster cooking; the grain itself was left intact.

    This recipe is perfect if you tried the back to school breakfast cookies and are looking for more ideas for cacao nibs. These dark chocolate hazelnut raspberry overnight oats contain double chocolate flavor from the cacao nibs plus cocoa powder. I have another recipe featuring this fabulous flavor combo in the works as well, so stay tuned.

    You can purchase cacao nibs in health food stores, or you can get them from online retailers if you cannot find them locally. They are a really fun ingredient to experiment with, so I recommend treating yourself to a bag. They work well in a variety of recipes that call for chocolate chips.

    And now for the disclaimer…

    All recipes on this website may or may not be appropriate for you, depending on your medical needs and personal preferences. Consult with a registered dietitian or your physician if you need help determining the dietary pattern that may be best for you.

    Notes

    This is a level 2 recipe (transition or weight maintenance). Are protein overnight oats good for you? This protein overnight oats recipe is nutritious, with a balanced macronutrient profile containing protein, carbs, and healthy fat. That said, what is “good for you” hinges on what your individual needs are.
    To make protein overnight oats low calorie, cut the amount of hazelnuts in half. Another way to lighten this one up is to substitute skim milk for the 2% milk.
    On the other hand, you can add more energy density to this recipe by using whole milk and whole milk yogurt. You may use a sweetened vanilla yogurt instead of the plain yogurt here if you prefer things sweeter, but that will add additional calories and some added sugar.

        I notice your recipes are not replacing a lactose intolerance diet, can you please add alternative to your recipes.

          Hi Vivian! If you have limited lactose intolerance, I recommend choosing lactose-free dairy milk. Fairlife is a brand that makes lactose-free milk in the U.S., and it is readily available in most major U.S. grocery stores. I'm not as familiar with the specific brands available in other countries. Many people with limited lactose tolerance can tolerate Greek yogurt and aged cheeses because these are lower in lactose than milk. I hope that helps. Let me know if you have any other questions! Best, Summer
