In a small mixing bowl, warm 1/4 cup of almond milk. I microwave mine for 30 seconds. This is optional, but warming the milk makes it easier to dissolve the cocoa in it.
Whisk the cocoa powder into the warm milk.
In a large mixing bowl, or airtight glass container, add oats, chia seeds, chocolate warm almond milk from step 1, remaining almond milk, and vanilla extract if used. Stir to combine evenly.
Seal the bowl or close the airtight containers and place them in the fridge overnight - or at least 4 hours.
The next day, serve with chocolate chips or chopped nuts.
