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 the rolled oats, milk, brewed espresso, caramel sauce, chia seeds, maple syrup (if using), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly mixed, ensuring the oats are well soaked.
  2. Chill: Cover the mixture and refrigerate it overnight or for a minimum of 4 hours. This allows the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquids and flavors fully, creating a creamy texture.
  3. Serve: In the morning, give the overnight oats a good stir to combine any settled ingredients. Top with a generous drizzle of caramel sauce and add whipped cream if desired for extra indulgence. Serve chilled directly from the fridge or let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes for a slightly softer texture.

Notes

  • You can customize the milk choice to dairy or plant-based alternatives such as almond, oat, or soy milk.
  • Maple syrup is optional and can be adjusted depending on your preferred sweetness.
  • For a vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt and use plant-based milk.
  • Chilling time is essential for texture; do not skip the refrigeration step.
  • Espresso can be replaced with strong brewed coffee if espresso is unavailable.
  • Overnight oats can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
