Gather all your ingredients to make the process smoother.
In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, cocoa powder, and chia seeds (if using). Stir well.
Pour in your choice of milk, peanut butter, vanilla extract, and maple syrup or honey. Add a dash of sea salt.
Mix all the ingredients together until well combined, ensuring no dry clumps remain.
Spoon the mixture into a jar or airtight container for soaking overnight.
Cover and refrigerate overnight (or at least 4-6 hours) to allow the oats to absorb the liquid.
In the morning, stir the oats and top with your favorite toppings, then enjoy!
