Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- ½ cup rolled oats
- ¼ cup freshly brewed espresso (or cold brew or instant coffee)
- ½ cup plant-based milk
Coffee and Sweeteners:
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch of salt
Topping/Sweet Coffee Cream:
- 2 teaspoons maple syrup (or granulated sugar)
- 2 teaspoons instant coffee
- 2 teaspoons boiling water
- 2–3 tablespoons plant-based yogurt
Instructions
- In a medium-sized container, mix rolled oats, chia seeds, and a pinch of salt, creating a dry base for the overnight oats.
- Pour cold plant-based milk, freshly brewed espresso, pure maple syrup, and vanilla extract into the dry mixture, stirring thoroughly to ensure complete integration of flavors.
- Gently fold in Greek yogurt or dairy-free alternative, whisking until the texture becomes smooth and all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Securely seal the container with a lid or tight-fitting cover, then place in the refrigerator for a minimum of 4 hours, preferably overnight, allowing the oats to absorb liquid and develop a creamy consistency.
- For an optional luxurious coffee cream topping, combine instant coffee granules, maple syrup, and hot water (about 120 milliliters or 4 fluid ounces), whipping the mixture until it becomes light and frothy.
- Before serving, give the chilled oats a quick stir to redistribute moisture, then artfully swirl the prepared coffee cream on top.
- Garnish with sliced fresh berries, chopped nuts, or a sprinkle of ground cinnamon to enhance visual appeal and add complementary textures and flavors.
