This is one of my go-to breakfasts (we're talking, like, at LEAST three days a week!) and I trash it up so it's a little over the top, but still doable on a weekday.

I instantly thought of overnight oats (and baked oatmeal, because it's my fav!) and told him he could make that for breakfast at night + then just grab it out of the fridge in the morning. Cocoa powder: The cocoa powder gives these overnight oats the delicious chocolate-y taste without adding sugar.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Overnight Oats step by step

1. Note: The darker or more pure the cocoa powder is, the more bitter it becomes (think dark versus milk chocolate). Similarly, traditional maple syrup used for pancakes versus pure maple syrup will be sweeter due to the ingredients. Keep this in mind when making your oatmeal. **Both of these options pictured aren’t as sweet, so I add 2 heaping tablespoons of vanilla yogurt! :).
2. Stir all of the oat ingredients together until well blended. Place in an airtight container or jars. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, until thickened. (Coconut added for texture out of preference!).
3. Stir well before serving with banana slices, peanut butter, chocolate chips, and/or any of your other favorite toppings!.

Overnight, the oats soak up the moisture of the liquid and create a hearty, fiber and protein-rich breakfast. The oats soften up as the sit in the fridge overnight. I actually prefer them this way! Nowadays, I usually make them first thing when I wake up, then I go work out, and enjoy them post. ANDDDD, because I know that your mouths crave the VERY SAME things, I'm making a HIGHLY educated guess that you're right on the board the oatmeal-love-train.
