Chocolate overnight oat & raspberry chia pudding parfaits: that’s a mouthful.
I realize this recipe has the longest title in the history of recipe titles, but I don’t know what else to call it.
Sometimes you can’t choose between overnight oats and chia pudding, so now there is the option of layering them in parfait form so you don’t have to choose.
Hence the reasoning for such a ridiculously titled (yet VERY delicious) recipe.

Making the chocolate overnight oats & raspberry chia pudding parfaits…
And let’s be honest, these aren’t just any overnight oat and chia pudding recipes.
The first is made with dark cocoa powder to give it that dessert-for-breakfast vibe, and the second is made with fresh or frozen raspberries for that sweet berry flavor, beautiful color and major boost of nutrition that can’t be beat.
Also, who doesn’t love chocolate and berries together?


Do you want chocolate overnight oats for breakfast?
And if you’re one of those people who are a bit scattered and rushed in the morning, let these parfaits become your best friend. I know that I find myself in this situation regularly (if you don’t, hit me up and share your secrets), but it certainly helps if I make breakfast ahead of time (like these Broccoli Cheese Egg Muffins) so I don’t feel so wild and crazy first thing in the morning.
I am also STARVING in the morning, so I find myself feeling impatient if I have to cook or prepare something from scratch.
So, I like to make these parfaits on Sunday night and eat chocolaty breakfast all week long. All it takes is a couple of bowls, a few pantry ingredients, some raspberries, and 10 minutes once a week, and these beauties are all yours.

Now you get why I named these babes Chocolate Overnight Oat & Raspberry Chia Pudding Parfaits. Whew.
