Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt 1 tablespoon of dark chocolate in 20-second increments until smooth, about 40–60 seconds total.
  2. In a large mason jar or bowl, combine old-fashioned oats, milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and maple syrup. Add the cooled melted chocolate and stir until fully combined.
  3. Gently fold in the semisweet chocolate chips, ensuring even distribution throughout the mixture.
