Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup milk of choice (dairy or plant-based)
- 1/4 cup brewed strong coffee, cooled
- 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt or dairy-free yogurt
- 1 tablespoon caramel sauce or caramel-flavored syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- Pinch of salt
Optional Toppings
- Whipped cream
- Extra caramel drizzle
- Cocoa powder
- Chopped nuts
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a jar or airtight container, add the rolled oats, milk, cooled brewed coffee, yogurt, caramel sauce, vanilla extract, chia seeds, and a pinch of salt to create a flavorful mixture.
- Mix Thoroughly: Stir all the ingredients well until fully combined to ensure even distribution of flavors.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Seal the container tightly and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight, allowing the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquids and soften.
- Stir Before Serving: In the morning, stir the oats well. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash of milk to achieve your desired consistency.
- Add Toppings: Top with whipped cream, extra caramel drizzle, cocoa powder, or chopped nuts as desired to enhance texture and flavor.
- Serve: Enjoy the overnight oats chilled straight from the jar, or warm gently in the microwave if you prefer a warm breakfast.
Notes
- If you prefer a stronger coffee flavor, use espresso instead of brewed coffee.
- You can substitute Greek yogurt with any plant-based yogurt for a vegan alternative.
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of caramel sauce or syrup.
- Overnight oats can be prepared up to 2 days in advance for convenience.
- For a thicker texture, reduce the milk slightly; for creamier oats, add a bit more yogurt.
