Ingredients
Oats Mixture
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup milk of choice
- ÂĽ 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
- Prepare Oats: In a medium bowl or jar, combine the rolled oats, milk, brewed espresso, caramel sauce, chia seeds, maple syrup (if using), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are evenly mixed together.
- Chill: Cover the bowl or jar tightly and place it in the refrigerator. Let it chill overnight or for at least 4 hours to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquids, creating a creamy texture.
- Serve: In the morning, give the oats a good stir to combine everything again. Top with an additional drizzle of caramel sauce and whipped cream if desired. Serve the oats chilled or let them sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before eating for a softer texture.
Notes
- Using Greek yogurt adds creaminess and protein but can be omitted for a lighter version.
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of caramel sauce and maple syrup to taste.
- For a dairy-free option, use plant-based milk and yogurt alternatives.
- Make sure the espresso or coffee is fully cooled before mixing to prevent premature soaking.
- Overnight oats can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
