Total Time: 5 mins
Cuisine: Breakfast
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup brewed coffee, cooled
- 1 cup almond milk
- 2 tablespoons caramel sauce
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, cocoa powder, chia seeds, and pinch of salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until they are evenly distributed.
- Pour the cooled brewed coffee and almond milk into the dry ingredient mixture. Stir thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well combined and no dry pockets remain.
- Drizzle the caramel sauce into the mixture, gently swirling it through the oats to create a marbled effect. Do not fully mix to maintain some caramel ribbons.
- Cover the bowl with a tight-fitting lid or plastic wrap. Refrigerate the mixture for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the oats to absorb the liquid and develop a creamy texture.
- Before serving, give the overnight oats a gentle stir to redistribute the ingredients and check the consistency. If too thick, add a little more almond milk to reach desired texture.
- Divide the overnight oats between two serving bowls. Optional: Garnish with additional caramel drizzle, a sprinkle of cocoa powder, or some chopped nuts for extra crunch.
- Serve chilled and enjoy your Caramel Mocha Overnight Oats as a delicious, no-cook breakfast option.
Tips
- Customize Your Sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter breakfast, feel free to add more caramel sauce or a touch of honey or maple syrup to the mixture before refrigerating.
- Experiment with Milk: While almond milk adds a lovely nutty flavor, you can easily substitute it with any milk of your choice—dairy, oat, or coconut milk all work beautifully.
- Add Extra Flavor: For a little extra kick, consider adding a dash of vanilla extract or a sprinkle of cinnamon to the dry ingredients for added depth of flavor.
- Make It Ahead: These overnight oats can be made in batches! Prepare several servings at once and store them in individual containers for grab-and-go breakfasts throughout the week.
- Garnish Creatively: Elevate your presentation by garnishing with additional caramel drizzle, a sprinkle of cocoa powder, or topping with your favorite nuts for a satisfying crunch.
- Check the Consistency: Before serving, if the oats seem too thick, simply stir in a splash more almond milk to achieve your desired creamy texture.
- Enjoy Cold or Warm: While these oats are delicious chilled, you can also warm them up in the microwave for a cozy breakfast option—just be sure to add a splash of milk to keep them creamy!
