Description
A creamy, coffee-flavored breakfast treat that makes you feel like you’re indulging in dessert, yet keeps you feeling good all morning.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup milk of choice (dairy, oat, or almond)
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
- 1/2 cup espresso or strong brewed coffee (cooled)
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds (if using), espresso, cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt.
- Layer the oat mixture in a jar or bowl, adding extra cocoa powder and yogurt for a layered effect if desired.
- Cover and refrigerate overnight (or for at least 4 hours) to allow the oats to absorb the liquid and soften.
- In the morning, stir the mixture and adjust the thickness by adding a splash of milk if necessary.
- Top with additional cocoa powder or chocolate chips if desired, and enjoy!
Notes
For a dairy-free and vegan option, use plant-based yogurt and milk. Make sure to use cooled coffee to avoid gummy oats. Store in a sealed container for up to 4 days.
