This is especially true if you’re the type that needs breakfast on a ketogenic diet and you often find yourself running out the door without thinking to prepare anything for your first meal of the day.

However, things don’t have to be this way — especially when you know you have chocolate for breakfast! Hey, this motivation works for me, every time.

While I enjoy making big traditional keto breakfasts with eggs and such, it is nice to have alternative keto egg-free breakfast recipes.

Here’s one to add to your collection! – the keto overnight oat.

You mix up everything 1 to 3 nights before you plan on enjoying, and voila, you can have breakfast and not worry your entire day being thrown off.

What makes overnight oats even better is the fact that it is so easily customizable that it can suit anyone’s taste preferences.

This recipe serves up to four people, takes ten minutes to make, but needs to sit in the fridge for 12 hours, and lasts up to five days in the fridge.

Not only is this recipe an easy to prepare breakfast option, but it is also delicious. It will help keep you feeling fuller longer and is packed with antioxidants because of the chia seeds. It will also help lower your blood pressure and your risk of heart disease because of the cocoa.

If you've made the recipe and it doesn't thicken well, double up on the chia seeds. This happens because of the quality of chia seeds or milk you've chosen.
