Ingredients
Overnight Oats Base
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup almond milk (or any milk of choice)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
- 1/2 cup brewed coffee, cooled
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Toppings (Optional)
- Chocolate shavings or cocoa nibs
- Fresh berries or banana slices
Instructions
- Combine the Ingredients: In a mixing bowl or a jar, add rolled oats, almond milk, chia seeds, cocoa powder, maple syrup, brewed coffee, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir until well combined, ensuring all ingredients are evenly mixed for consistent flavor and texture.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the bowl or jar and place it in the refrigerator. Let it sit overnight or for at least 4 hours to allow the oats to soak up the liquids and soften, creating a creamy and flavorful base.
- Serve: In the morning, give the oats a good stir. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash of milk to reach your desired consistency. Top with chocolate shavings, cocoa nibs, and fresh berries or banana slices, if desired, for added texture and taste.
Notes
- Use brewed coffee cooled to avoid cooking the oats or altering texture.
- Maple syrup or honey can be adjusted to taste for sweetness.
- Chia seeds add thickness and extra nutrition but can be omitted if desired.
- Feel free to substitute almond milk with any milk alternative or regular milk.
- Overnight oats can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
