Creamy Espresso Overnight Oats
Description
This recipe for Creamy Espresso Overnight Oats calls for mixing rolled oats with chilled espresso to avoid cooking the oats prematurely, preserving their soft yet slightly chewy texture. Coconut cream lends richness and creaminess that balances the bold coffee flavor. Adding collagen powder provides extra protein and supports texture without overpowering the oats.
The blend is sweetened gently with vanilla-flavored stevia, which can be substituted by vanilla extract plus stevia drops or powder to taste. After a thorough mix ensuring all oats are moistened, the container is covered and refrigerated for at least four hours, or overnight, allowing the oats to soften fully and flavors to meld.
The final dish is served cold, making it convenient for busy mornings. Its creamy texture and coffee notes provide a satisfying start to the day, especially for those who enjoy espresso flavors in breakfast.

Notes
- Use chilled espresso to prevent the oats from cooking immediately and altering their texture.
