These Ferrero Rocher overnight oats are a delightful mix of creamy yogurt, oats, and a hint of chocolate—just like the famous treat! Perfect for a tasty breakfast or snack.
Who wouldn’t want to wake up to this chocolaty goodness? I love adding chopped hazelnuts for that extra crunch. It’s so simple; just mix the ingredients and let them chill overnight!
Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Rolled Oats: These are the base of your overnight oats. If you don’t have rolled oats, you can use quick oats. However, avoid steel-cut oats as they won’t soften enough overnight.
Chia Seeds: Chia seeds add great texture and nutrients. If you don’t have them, you can substitute with ground flaxseed. Just remember, flaxseed will change the flavor a bit.
Milk: Use any milk you like—dairy, almond, oat, or soy all work. For a creamier texture, try using coconut milk!
Greek Yogurt: It adds creaminess and protein. If you’re dairy-free, use coconut yogurt or a plant-based yogurt alternative.
Hazelnut Spread: Nutella is a classic here, but you can also use almond butter or a homemade chocolate hazelnut spread for a healthier option.
Sweetener: Maple syrup is great, but honey, agave nectar, or even a sugar substitute like Stevia can also do the trick. Adjust according to your taste!
How Do I Achieve the Perfect Overnight Oats Texture?
Getting the right texture for overnight oats is essential. Here’s how to do it:
- Combine your dry ingredients (oats, chia seeds, cocoa powder) thoroughly.
- Add liquid ingredients slowly while mixing, ensuring everything is evenly incorporated. This prevents clumping.
- Cover tightly to prevent any moisture from escaping while refrigerating.
- The next day, if it seems thick, just add a little more milk to reach your desired consistency.
Remember, using the right proportions and allowing enough time for soaking will yield a creamy and delicious result. Enjoy your easy and delightful breakfast!

How Much Time Will You Need?
This recipe takes about 10 minutes of prep time, and then you let it chill in the fridge overnight (at least 6 hours). It’s a quick and easy breakfast solution that’s ready when you are!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Mix Your Base Ingredients:
Grab a mixing bowl or a jar—your choice! Combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, cocoa powder, and a small pinch of salt. This foundation will create a tasty and nutritious base for your overnight oats!
2. Add Creamy Goodness:
Pour in the milk, add the Greek yogurt, hazelnut spread, maple syrup (if using), and the vanilla extract. Take a whisk or a fork and stir everything together until it’s smooth and well combined. You want all those yummy flavors to mix up nicely!
3. Refrigerate Overnight:
Cover your bowl or seal your jar tightly and place it in the fridge. Let it chill for at least 6 hours, but overnight works best. This is when the oats and chia seeds will absorb the liquid and thicken up!
4. Get Ready to Serve:
The next morning, take your oats out of the fridge and give them a good stir. If they seem too thick for your liking, just add a splash of milk to reach your preferred consistency. It’s time to make them look fabulous!
5. Decorate Your Serving Glasses:
For a fun touch, drizzle some extra hazelnut spread or chocolate syrup inside your serving glasses before adding the oats. It’ll look so pretty and inviting!
6. Spoon in the Oats:
Scoop the prepared overnight oats into your decorated glasses or bowls, filling them about 3/4 full. This portion size makes it feel like a special treat!
7. Top It Off:
Now, let’s add those beautiful finishing touches! Sprinkle each serving with chopped hazelnuts, dark chocolate shavings, and fresh blueberries. For the grand finale, place a Ferrero Rocher chocolate on top of each serving.
8. Serve and Enjoy:
Finally, serve your Ferrero Rocher overnight oats chilled. Grab a golden spoon (or whatever you have handy!) and get ready to savor every bite. Enjoy this lovely, chocolatey breakfast!
Can I Use Quick Oats Instead of Rolled Oats?
Yes, you can use quick oats! They’ll absorb the liquid faster, but they may result in a slightly softer texture compared to rolled oats. Just be sure to adjust the soaking time if needed.
Can I Prepare These Overnight Oats with Alternative Sweeteners?
Absolutely! If you prefer to avoid sugar, sweeteners like stevia, monk fruit, or even mashed bananas work great. Just adjust the amount based on your sweetness preference.
How Long Do Leftovers Last in the Fridge?
You can store any leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just make sure to keep them in an airtight container. If they seem too thick after sitting, stir in a bit of milk before enjoying!
Can I Make This Recipe Vegan?
Yes! To make the overnight oats vegan, simply use a plant-based yogurt and a non-dairy milk, such as almond, soy, or coconut milk. The hazelnut spread can also be checked for dairy-free options!
