Ingredients

2 tablespoons Nutella divided into 1 tablespoon + 1/2 tablespoon + 1/2 tablespoon
1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1/2 tablespoon light brown sugar or pure maple syrup or honey (adjust to taste)
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
1/8 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup milk any kind you like
1 tablespoon hazelnuts chopped (for topping)

Instructions

Smear Nutella in the glass. Smear 1/2 tablespoon of Nutella on the inside of a glass jar so it looks streaky. (I use an empty Bonne Maman jam jar, which holds 13 ounces or about 385 mL or 1.65 cups.)
Mix. Add 1 tablespoon of Nutella, oats, chia seeds, brown sugar, vanilla, vinegar, salt, and milk to a medium bowl and stir well to combine.
Chill. Transfer the oat mixture to the prepared jar. Cover the jar and refrigerate at least 6 hours (8 is better if you have the time) or up to 5 days.
Serve. Before serving, top with the hazelnuts and remaining 1/2 tablespoon Nutella. (You can briefly warm the Nutella in the microwave if you want it to be a drizzle-able consistency.)

Notes

Storage: Store in a covered glass jar in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Make This Recipe Your Own: You can easily customize it to suite your tastes and health goals. To add more vitamins, minerals, and fiber, serve it with your favorite fresh berries or sliced bananas on top. Or if you want to increase the protein, add a scoop of your favorite protein powder and an extra splash of milk. To lower the sugar and carbs, omit the brown sugar or use keto brown sugar.
