Ingredients

• Oats Base
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup unsweetened milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp chia seeds
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup or honey
  • 1 vanilla bean, seeds scraped (or 1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract)
  • Pinch of salt
• Coffee Layer
  • 1/2 cup brewed espresso or strong coffee, cooled
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey
• Toppings
  • 1/4 cup whipped cream (dairy or coconut)
  • 1 tbsp mini dark chocolate chips or cocoa nibs (optional)
  • 2 tsp vanilla granola (optional)

Instructions

1. Mix oats base

In a medium bowl, combine oats, milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla bean seeds (or extract), and a pinch of salt. Stir well until fully incorporated.

2. Prepare coffee layer

In a small bowl or cup, mix the cooled brewed espresso or coffee with 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey.

3. First oat layer

Divide half the oat mixture evenly between two 12-oz jars.

4. First coffee drizzle

Drizzle half of the sweetened coffee mixture over the oats in both jars.

5. Second oat layer

Layer the remaining oat mixture on top, then finish with the rest of the coffee mixture.

6. Chill overnight

Seal the jars and refrigerate overnight (at least 8 hours) to allow the oats to soak and flavors to meld.

7. Add toppings and serve

In the morning, top each jar with whipped cream, chocolate chips or cocoa nibs, and vanilla granola if desired. Serve cold.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

For a creamy and smooth texture, ensure you scrape the vanilla bean seeds thoroughly or use high-quality vanilla extract. Use freshly brewed espresso cooled to room temperature for an optimal coffee taste. Seal jars tightly to prevent odor absorption in the fridge and allow the oats to soften fully overnight.

Varianten und Anpassungen

Swap Greek yogurt with plant-based yogurt and use coconut whipped cream to create a fully vegan version. Adjust sweetness by substituting maple syrup or honey with agave syrup if preferred. When fresh coffee is not available, mix espresso powder directly into the oats mixture for a convenient alternative.

Serviervorschläge

Enjoy chilled straight from the jar for a quick breakfast or snack. For added indulgence, sprinkle with extra vanilla granola or cocoa nibs just before serving. Pair with fresh fruit or a handful of nuts to boost texture and nutrients.
