A creamy, comforting overnight oats recipe blending rich coffee flavor with smooth oats for a healthy, indulgent breakfast that’s ready to grab and go.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (45 g) old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) cold brew coffee or strong brewed espresso, cooled
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) milk of choice (dairy, almond, oat, or soy milk)
  • 1/4 cup (60 g) Greek yogurt, plain or vanilla (or dairy-free coconut yogurt)
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) maple syrup or honey
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon (optional but recommended)
  • 1 tbsp (12 g) chia seeds
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional toppings: dark chocolate shavings or cacao nibs, toasted almonds or walnuts, fresh berries or sliced banana

Instructions

  1. Brew 1/2 cup (120 ml) of strong coffee or espresso and let it cool completely.
  2. In a mason jar or airtight container, combine 1/2 cup (45 g) rolled oats, 1 tbsp (12 g) chia seeds, 1/4 tsp cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir gently to mix.
  3. Add the cooled coffee, 1/2 cup (120 ml) milk of choice, 1/4 cup (60 g) Greek yogurt, 1 tbsp (15 ml) maple syrup or honey, and 1/2 tsp vanilla extract.
  4. Mix thoroughly with a spoon or small whisk until well blended and creamy, scraping the sides to avoid clumps.
  5. Seal the jar or container tightly and refrigerate overnight or for at least 6 hours.
  6. In the morning, check consistency; if too thick, stir in a splash of milk, if too thin, add a spoonful of yogurt or more oats and let sit a few minutes.
  7. Add your favorite toppings such as dark chocolate shavings, nuts, or fresh fruit and enjoy cold.

Notes

Use cold brew coffee for smoother flavor; let hot coffee cool completely before mixing to avoid cooking the oats. Stir halfway through soaking for even chia seed distribution (optional). Adjust milk quantity for desired consistency. Can substitute Greek yogurt with dairy-free yogurt for vegan version. Store leftovers up to 3 days in fridge; stir in milk before eating if thickened.
