Tips

- For an even creamier result, add an extra spoonful of Greek yogurt.
- If the oats are too thick in the morning, stir in a splash of milk.
- Vanilla protein powder also works well if you prefer a milder chocolate flavour.
- To make it even richer, add a few extra chocolate chips before serving.
Recipe Notes

- Swap peanut butter for almond butter if preferred.
