Chocolate Pear & Plum Velvet Overnight Oats

These layered oats are rich, creamy, and packed with cozy flavor combinations that feel both comforting and fresh. The bottom layer blends chocolate, banana, and pear for a smooth, dessert like base with natural sweetness and a soft fruity finish. On top, the vanilla and plum layer adds a lighter, creamy contrast with just the right amount of juicy brightness. Every spoonful gives you a mix of deep chocolate flavor, mellow pear, and sweet-tart plum that works surprisingly well together.

Helpful Tips

• For the best texture, use old-fashioned rolled oats rather than quick oats or steel-cut oats.

• To make these oats dairy free, omit the yogurt or use Silk yogurt instead. Consider adding an additional mashed banana to maintain the creamy texture.

• You can easily customize this recipe by swapping out the plum for a peach, or an apple. In the bottom layer, consider using strawberry protein powder in place of chocolate for a more fresh and fruity vibe.

• For a stronger nutty flavor use flax meal in place of chia seeds.
