Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Rolled Oats
  • 1 cup Milk or Plant-Based Alternative (almond, oat, soy, etc.)
  • 1 teaspoon Instant Coffee or Espresso Powder
  • 1 tablespoon Cocoa Powder
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons Sweetener (Honey, Maple Syrup, or Agave)
  • 1/4 cup Greek Yogurt (Optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Instructions

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a bowl or jar, mix the rolled oats, cocoa powder, and instant coffee powder thoroughly so the coffee and chocolate flavors are evenly distributed throughout the oats.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in your choice of milk or plant-based alternative, vanilla extract, and sweetener; stir gently to create a smooth, consistent mixture. If desired, add Greek yogurt for extra creaminess and protein.
  3. Refrigerate Overnight: Seal the container and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight, allowing the oats to absorb flavors and soften to a creamy consistency.
  4. Stir and Serve: In the morning, give the oats a good stir, adjust sweetness if needed, then add your favorite toppings such as fresh berries, nuts, or cacao nibs before enjoying.

Notes

  • Use instant coffee powder for best flavor and easy dissolution.
  • Old-fashioned rolled oats provide ideal texture without becoming mushy.
  • Adjust sweetener amount to your taste, adding more in the morning if you like.
  • Mix ingredients well before refrigerating to prevent clumping and ensure even flavor.
  • Prepare individual portions in jars for convenient grab-and-go breakfasts.
