Ingredients
Overnight Oats Mixture
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup milk of choice (dairy or plant-based)
- 1/4 cup brewed strong coffee, cooled
- 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt or dairy-free yogurt
- 1 tablespoon caramel sauce or caramel-flavored syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- Pinch of salt
Optional Toppings
- Whipped cream
- Extra caramel drizzle
- Cocoa powder
- Chopped nuts
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a jar or airtight container, combine the rolled oats, milk, brewed coffee, yogurt, caramel sauce, vanilla extract, chia seeds, and salt. This base mixture forms the foundation of your caramel macchiato flavored overnight oats.
- Mix Well: Stir thoroughly until all the ingredients are fully blended together, ensuring even distribution of flavors and texture.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Seal the container tightly and refrigerate overnight or for at least 6 hours to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquids and soften.
- Stir in the Morning: In the morning, stir the oats well to combine. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash of milk to reach your desired consistency.
- Add Toppings: Add desired toppings such as whipped cream, extra caramel drizzle, a sprinkle of cocoa powder, or chopped nuts to enhance flavor and texture.
- Serve: Enjoy the oats cold directly from the jar, or if preferred, warm gently in the microwave for a comforting, cozy breakfast.
Notes
- Use strong brewed coffee for a more pronounced coffee flavor.
- Adjust caramel sauce to your sweetness preference.
- Chia seeds help thicken the oats and add extra nutrition, but can be omitted if desired.
- Overnight oats can be prepared up to 2 days in advance for convenience.
- For a vegan option, use plant-based milk and dairy-free yogurt.
- Microwaving time should be short (30-60 seconds) to avoid overheating.
