A quick and easy overnight oats recipe combining creamy oats with bold espresso and rich cacao for a coffeehouse-inspired breakfast that’s nourishing and indulgent.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup (45 g) old-fashioned rolled oats
  • ½ cup (120 ml) cold brew coffee
  • 1 shot (about 30 ml) freshly brewed espresso
  • 1 tablespoon (5 g) unsweetened cacao powder
  • ½ cup (120 ml) milk of choice (whole, almond, or oat milk)
  • ¼ cup (60 g) plain Greek yogurt, full-fat
  • 1–2 teaspoons maple syrup or honey (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional toppings: fresh berries, sliced almonds, cacao nibs, nut butter drizzle

Instructions

  1. Mix the cacao and liquids: In your mason jar or mixing bowl, add 1 tablespoon of unsweetened cacao powder. Pour in ½ cup cold brew coffee and ½ cup milk of choice. Whisk or stir vigorously to dissolve the cacao completely.
  2. Add espresso and yogurt: Pour in 1 shot of freshly brewed espresso, then add ¼ cup of plain Greek yogurt. Stir gently until the mixture is creamy and uniform.
  3. Sweeten and season: Add 1-2 teaspoons of maple syrup or honey, a pinch of salt, and ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract. Stir well.
  4. Incorporate the oats: Add ½ cup of old-fashioned rolled oats. Stir to coat the oats evenly in the coffee mixture.
  5. Seal and refrigerate: Cover the jar or container tightly and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to let the oats soak and soften.
  6. Finish and serve: Stir the oats before serving. Add a splash of milk if too thick. Top with favorite add-ons like fresh berries, cacao nibs, or nuts. Serve cold or at room temperature.

Notes

Use old-fashioned rolled oats for best texture. Whisk cacao powder well to avoid clumps. Freshly brewed espresso enhances flavor. Adjust sweetness after soaking if needed. For dairy-free, swap Greek yogurt with coconut or almond yogurt and use plant-based milk. Optional toppings add texture and flavor. Store leftovers up to 3 days refrigerated. Stir before serving and add milk if too thick.
