Halloween is over and all of a sudden I’m hearing whispers of the holidays… Starbucks has their red cups out and it’s time for all things cranberry!
Why save cranberry sauce just for Thanksgiving? It’s such a delicious and easy to make topping for all sorts of fall treats. Add it to muffins with some chocolate chips or put it in your favorite smoothie. It’s great smeared on a sandwich with turkey or even on a grilled cheese.
Cranberry and chocolate are one of my favorite combos and tastes delicious in these Cranberry Chocolate Overnight Oats. Overnight oats are easy to meal prep and infinitely adaptable. They turn into a creamy and dense treat that will keep you full for hours.
These Cranberry Chocolate Overnight Oats are easy to make with oats, cocoa, chia seeds and milk of your choice.

Mmmmm. I love cranberry and chocolate too, but I’ve never tried the combo in oatmeal. Need to change that now! 🙂
OMG, your post is like DESTINY. I have leftover cranberry sauce in my fridge RIGHT NOW. I am so making THIS. I’m fantasizing about it right now, while sipping pumpkin latte out of my red Starbuck’s cup. 😉
Ha, ha! Sounds like the perfect fall combo meal cranberry and pumpkin!
Great use of leftover cranberry sauce!!
Thanks Felesha!
I’m with ya, Karen! I just picked up my first fresh cranberries from the store yesterday… I promptly tossed them in the freezer to use in smoothies, mostly. I love their tart flavor and they’re SO good for us! So why not!? I’ve yet to put them on a grilled cheese, but it’s on my radar! I love the simplicity of overnight oats. But I’ve never thought to put cranberry in them! I love the flavor combination you’ve developed here! Thank you for your inspiration!
I LOVE cranberry season Karen! What an awesome little breakfast you’ve got here! So nice and hearty to keep me satisfied all morning long!
Thanks Mary Ann!
