Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup brewed coffee (cooled)
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey)
- 1/2 cup milk of choice (dairy, almond, soy, oat)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Optional Toppings
- Sliced bananas
- Chocolate chips
- Crushed nuts
- Whipped cream
Instructions
- Gather Ingredients: Collect all ingredients including rolled oats, brewed coffee, cocoa powder, sweetener, milk, and vanilla extract. Prepare a whisk and an airtight container for mixing and storage.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In the airtight container, combine the rolled oats, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir to ensure even distribution of the cocoa and salt.
- Prepare Wet Mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together the cooled brewed coffee, milk of choice, maple syrup or honey, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients over the dry mixture in the container. Stir thoroughly to ensure that the oats are completely moistened by the liquid mixture.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Seal the container tightly and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 to 5 hours or overnight. This allows the oats to soak and soften, absorbing the coffee and cocoa flavors.
- Serve and Garnish: In the morning, give the oats a good stir. Add optional toppings such as sliced bananas, chocolate chips, crushed nuts, or whipped cream to enhance flavor and texture before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute brewed coffee with decaf if you prefer to avoid caffeine.
- Adjust the amount of sweetener according to your taste preference.
- For a vegan version, use plant-based milk and maple syrup instead of honey.
- Make sure the coffee is fully cooled before mixing to avoid cooking the oats.
- Overnight oats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
