Cold Brew Overnight Oats
A delicious and easy breakfast that combines the flavors of vanilla and cold brew coffee, perfect for busy mornings.
Ingredients
Oats Base
- 1 cup Old fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup Cold brew coffee (store bought or homemade)
- 1/2 cup Milk of choice (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (optional but makes it extra creamy)
- 1 tablespoon Chia seeds (optional for thickness)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup or honey (to taste)
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
Preparation
- In a container, stir together oats, cold brew, milk, vanilla, sweetener, a pinch of salt, and any extras like chia or yogurt. Mix well to prevent dry pockets of oats.
- Cover it and pop it in the fridge overnight (or at least for 6 hours).
- In the morning, give it a stir and see how it looks. If it’s too thick, add a splash of milk; if too thin, add a spoon of yogurt or chia.
Serving Suggestions
- Classic vanilla latte style: Top with a little extra milk and maple syrup, and a dusting of cinnamon.
- Banana bread cozy bowl: Slice half a banana on top, add cinnamon, and nuts.
- Berry vanilla cream: Add strawberries or blueberries and a spoonful of yogurt.
- Caramel crunch situation: Drizzle with caramel sauce and add granola or crushed almonds.
- PB and vanilla coffee combo: Stir in a spoonful of peanut butter and add banana slices or cacao nibs.
Notes
Use a pinch of salt, let it sit long enough (overnight is best), and adjust thickness and sweetness to your preference. You can also meal prep two jars at once for variety.
