Ingredient Notes & Substitutions
- Rolled Oats: rolled oats are ideal for overnight oats because they produce the best texture after sitting in the fridge all night. Quick oats can also work.
- Cold Brew Coffee: your favorite cold brew is perfect for this recipe. I recommend an unsweetened brew so you can control the sugar level. You could also make your own cold brew. Regular drip coffee will also work!
- Yogurt: I used vegan greek yogurt, which has some extra protein. Feel free to choose your favorite yogurt.
- Chia Seeds: chia seeds add some good-for-you Omega-3s. They expand over night and create a gelatinous texture that makes the oats even more thick and creamy
- Agave or Maple Syrup: optional
- Cocoa Powder: a bit of cocoa powder helps enhance the coffee flavor.
- Vanilla Extract
- Pinch Salt: helps enhance the flavor
- Chocolate Chips: to serve
Step-By-Step Instructions
Step 1. In a large bowl (or two separate mason jars) mix all the ingredients thoroughly until combined.
Step 2. Cover and refrigerate for several hours or overnight. Serve and enjoy!
FAQ & Expert Tips
You can add a scoop of your favorite protein powder to these oats for extra protein. I recommend adding 2-4 tablespoons more liquid, per serving of protein.
You can easily adjust the sweetness level by adding more agave or maple syrup.
Store overnight oats in airtight containers for up to a week.
I find that mason jars make ideal containers for overnight oats. They are a great serving-size and are easily portable if you're taking breakfast on the go
