Ingredients

Oats Mixture

  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup milk of choice
  • ¼ cup brewed espresso or strong coffee (cooled)
  • 2 tablespoons caramel sauce (plus more for drizzling)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt (optional, for added creaminess)

Toppings

  • Whipped cream for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Oats: In a medium bowl or jar, combine rolled oats, milk, cooled espresso, caramel sauce, chia seeds, optional maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are evenly mixed.
  2. Chill: Cover the bowl or jar and refrigerate the mixture overnight or for at least 4 hours to allow the oats to absorb the liquid and flavors fully.
  3. Serve: In the morning, give the oats a good stir. Top with a drizzle of caramel sauce and whipped cream if desired. Serve the overnight oats chilled directly from the fridge or let them sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes if you prefer a less cold dish.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free version, substitute milk and Greek yogurt with plant-based alternatives such as almond or oat milk, and coconut yogurt.
  • Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of caramel sauce and maple syrup according to taste.
  • Chia seeds help thicken the oats and add nutritional benefits such as fiber and omega-3 fatty acids.
  • Make sure the espresso or coffee used is cooled before mixing to prevent cooking the oats prematurely.
  • This recipe can be prepared in advance for up to 3 days for quick breakfasts.
