How to Prepare Chocolate Hazelnut Overnight Oats [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

In a high-speed blender, blend all the chocolate milk ingredients until smooth. You may have very small pieces of dates left, this is fine.
Mix the oats, chia seeds and chocolate milk together in an airtight container. You can also divide it in two containers for quick grab-and-go breakfasts.
Let chill overnight in the fridge. The next morning, the oats should be thick and creamy. Add more milk to thin if desired. Serve with toppings of choice.

Notes

You can add more cocoa powder and sweetener to taste for a richer bowl of oats. If your blender can't break down dates, you can substitute them for liquid sweetener to taste.
