Coffee Overnight Oats
Description
Coffee Overnight Oats are made by soaking rolled oats in a mix of almond milk, cold brew coffee, protein powder, and flavorings like maple syrup, vanilla extract, and chia seeds. The cold brew adds a gentle coffee flavor without bitterness, while the protein powder and nut butter contribute creaminess and extra nutrition. Soaking overnight softens the oats to a tender yet slightly chewy texture, ready to eat chilled in the morning.
The oats' mild nuttiness and the sweetness from maple syrup balance the subtle bitterness of the cold brew. Adding peanut butter on top provides a rich, creamy contrast, and optional cacao nibs introduce crunch with a chocolate note. This dish requires no cooking and suits busy mornings, breakfast on the go, or a light meal.
These overnight oats can adapt to different milk types or nut butters depending on preference. Stir before eating and adjust thickness by adding milk if needed.
Use cold brew concentrate diluted to your preferred strength if needed. In a rush, soaking for 2-4 hours softens oats but overnight yields best texture.
Ingredients
- ½ cup rolled oats old fashioned
- ½ cup almond milk or oat milk
- ¼ cup cold brew coffee
- 1 vanilla protein powder approx 12 grams - I used 1 scoop of Nuzest vanilla, scoop
- 1 maple syrup 2 teaspoons
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- pinch sea salt skip if nut butter is salted
- 1 Tablespoon peanut butter divided, ½ for topping, or almond butter
- cacao nibs optional, for topping
Instructions
- Combine: Add oats, milk, cold brew, protein powder, maple syrup, chia seeds, vanilla, 1/2 of the nut butter and sea salt into a bowl or jar and stir together.
- Cover and let soak: Cover and place in the fridge overnight. If you’re in a rush you can shorten the soak time to 2-4 hours.
- Serve: The next morning (or when ready to eat), remove lid and give oats a big stir. If they seem too thick you can add a little more milk to loosen the mixture. Top with nut butter and any other toppings you'd like.
Notes
- Dilute cold brew concentrate according to taste to make the 1/4 cup needed for the recipe.
- If you don’t have time to soak overnight, soaking for 2 to 4 hours will also soften the oats.
- Feel free to substitute almond milk with oat milk or any other milk of choice.
- Add additional milk before serving if oats seem too thick or dry.
