Ingredients
Scale
Overnight Oats Base
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup brewed coffee, cooled to room temperature
- 1/2 cup milk of choice (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon caramel sauce, plus more for topping
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or sweetener of choice
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon plain or vanilla Greek yogurt (optional)
- Pinch of salt
Toppings (Optional)
- Whipped cream
- Additional caramel drizzle
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a jar or container with a lid, add the rolled oats, brewed coffee, milk, chia seeds, caramel sauce, maple syrup, vanilla extract, Greek yogurt if using, and a pinch of salt. Stir thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the container tightly and place it in the refrigerator. Let the oats soak for at least 6 hours or preferably overnight to allow the oats and chia seeds to soften and the flavors to meld.
- Stir and Adjust Consistency: The next morning, remove the oats from the refrigerator and give them a good stir. If the mixture is too thick, add a little more milk to reach your desired consistency.
- Add Toppings and Serve: Top the oats with whipped cream and an extra drizzle of caramel sauce if desired. Serve immediately chilled for a refreshing and flavorful breakfast.
Notes
- Use decaf coffee for a caffeine-free version without compromising the coffee flavor.
- Boost protein content by incorporating a scoop of protein powder or increasing the amount of Greek yogurt.
- Customize sweetness by adjusting the amount of maple syrup or caramel sauce based on personal preference.
