Ferrero Rocher Overnight Oats are a delicious way to start your day! Creamy oats mix with rich chocolate and hazelnut flavors, making breakfast feel like a treat.

Prepping is a breeze; just mix the oats with milk, cocoa, and your favorite toppings. In the morning, you’ll have a delightful breakfast waiting for you. Yum!
Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Rolled Oats: The base of your overnight oats! Rolled oats are best for their texture. If you need a gluten-free option, choose certified gluten-free oats.
Milk: You can use any milk you like! Almond, oat, or soy milk work great. For creaminess, try coconut milk — it adds a lovely flavor too!
Chia Seeds: These are excellent for thickening and adding fiber. If you’re out, ground flax seeds can be a good substitute, but they’ll change the flavor slightly.
Hazelnut Spread: Nutella is common, but feel free to use any hazelnut spread or even almond butter for a different nutty twist. It’s still delicious!
Sweetener: Maple syrup and honey are both great. If you prefer a lower-calorie sweetener, consider stevia or agave syrup!
How Can I Make the Perfect Overnight Oats?
Overnight oats are simple but require the right balance of ingredients for that perfect creamy texture. Here are some key tips:
- Mix well: Ensure everything is combined thoroughly so the oats can soak up the flavors overnight.
- Chill time: Leave your oats to chill for at least 6 hours or overnight. This allows the oats and chia seeds to absorb moisture properly.
- Add toppings: Don’t forget the fun toppings in the morning! They add flavor and texture. I love using extra hazelnuts and chocolate for that Ferrero Rocher vibe.
With these tips, your Ferrero Rocher Overnight Oats will be a delightful, chocolaty treat for breakfast! Enjoy every spoonful!
Ferrero Rocher Overnight Oats
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1 tbsp hazelnut spread (such as Nutella)
- 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey
- 2 Ferrero Rocher chocolates (plus extra for garnish)
- 1 tbsp chopped hazelnuts
- 1 tbsp dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
How Much Time Will You Need?
This recipe takes about 10 minutes to prepare and requires at least 6 hours to chill overnight. You can whip it up in no time and let it rest while you sleep, so breakfast is ready to go in the morning!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Prepare the Oat Mixture:
In a mixing bowl or a jar, start by combining the rolled oats, chia seeds, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix everything together well so that the oats and seeds are evenly distributed.
2. Add the Wet Ingredients:
Pour in the milk, then add the maple syrup (or honey) and vanilla extract. Stir everything together until fully combined, creating a nice chocolatey mixture.
3. Stir in the Hazelnut Spread:
Take 1 tablespoon of hazelnut spread and stir it into your oat mixture. This will add an extra layer of creaminess and flavor. You’ll notice the mixture turning a delicious chocolate color!
4. Add Ferrero Rocher:
Now, grab 1 of the Ferrero Rocher chocolates, crush it roughly, and fold it gently into the oat mixture. This will give you delightful little chunks of chocolate throughout.
5. Refrigerate Overnight:
Transfer the oat mixture into a serving glass or jar, cover it up, and pop it in the fridge for at least 6 hours or overnight. This chilling time allows the oats and chia seeds to soak up all the liquid and thicken nicely.
6. Morning Assembly:
When you’re ready to enjoy your breakfast, give the oats a gentle stir. Top your oats with the remaining Ferrero Rocher chocolate (whole), chopped hazelnuts, dark chocolate chips, and if you like, a sprinkle of crumbled biscuits or wafer crumbs. Get creative with your toppings!
7. Serve and Enjoy:
Serve your Ferrero Rocher Overnight Oats chilled. If you like, add a few fresh strawberries or your favorite fruits on the side. Dig in and enjoy this decadent yet healthy breakfast!
It’s a delightful way to start your day with a taste of something special!
Can I Use Instant Oats Instead of Rolled Oats?
While you can use instant oats, the texture will be different. Instant oats absorb liquid more quickly, resulting in a mushier consistency. If you prefer a firmer bite, stick with rolled oats!
How Long Can I Store Leftovers?
Any leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just be sure to keep them in an airtight container. The oats may thicken further, so you might want to add a splash of milk when you reheat or eat them!
Can I Make This Vegan?
Absolutely! Simply swap out the dairy milk for your favorite plant-based alternative (like almond or oat milk) and use maple syrup instead of honey. This keeps the recipe delightful and vegan-friendly!
What Other Toppings Can I Use?
Get creative! You can top your overnight oats with fresh fruits like bananas or berries, nuts, seeds, granola, or even a drizzle of caramel or chocolate sauce. Have fun experimenting with different flavors and textures!
