Chocolate for breakfast? Yes, please!

My favorite ways to eat oats, in no particular order, are: overnight, baked, and with chocolate. I shared a recipe for chocolate mocha oats way back when on Instagram that is seriously like eating a bowl of chocolate pudding for breakfast. SO good.

I wanted to re-create those same flavors in casserole form – perfect for sharing with a crowd at brunch and holiday breakfasts!

Top with a hint of red pom seeds and green pistachios, as I did, for the holidays or try extra chocolate chips and nut butter drizzled on top. Either way, you can’t go wrong!
