Easy Coffee Overnight Oats
I love these quick and easy coffee overnight oats! If you’re struggling to find the time for breakfast in the morning, these vegan overnight oats are the answer. They’re delicious and filled with goodness that will keep you going all morning long. Simplify your morning with this speedy and healthy breakfast!
Ingredients
- 40 g oats (~½ cup)
- 15 g chia seeds (~1½ tbsp)
- 80 ml brewed coffee (⅓ cup)
- 125 ml almond milk (½ cup)
- 60 g plain dairy-free yoghurt (⅓ cup)
- ½ tsp vanilla extract optional
- 1-2 tsp maple syrup optional
Instructions
- In a mason jar or bowl, add the oats, chia seeds, brewed coffee, almond milk, yoghurt, vanilla (if using) and maple syrup (if using).
- Mix really well until it’s all combined, then cover and move to the fridge.
- Leave to thicken overnight, or for a minimum of 3 hours.
- To enjoy your oats the next morning, you can top them with some more yoghurt and some chopped nuts or seeds.
Notes
LIQUID: The consistency of these coffee overnight oats is very much down to personal preference. Just add a little bit more dairy-free milk for thinner oats, or take a little bit out for thicker oats.
OATS: My preference is to use rolled oats, as they soften nicely overnight, but still keep a good texture and a bit of a bite. Steel cut oats are too coarse for overnight oatmeal. You could use quick oats or instant oats, but they wouldn’t have as much texture to them.
FOR WARM OATS: Although overnight oatmeal is typically a cold breakfast, you can enjoy it warm. If the thought of chilled oats just doesn’t appeal to you, then you can pop them in the microwave for a minute or two until warmed through. Just make sure you have prepared them in a microwave safe container.
