Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt or dairy-free yogurt
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
- 1 tablespoon espresso or strong brewed coffee
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional Garnish
- Chocolate shavings or extra cocoa powder
Instructions
- Combine the Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, and cocoa powder thoroughly to ensure an even cocoa flavor throughout the mixture.
- Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, espresso, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Combine and Stir: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients bowl and stir everything together until the oats and chia seeds are fully coated and the mixture is evenly blended.
- Refrigerate: Transfer the combined mixture to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. This allows the oats and chia seeds to soak up the liquid and flavors to meld.
- Serve and Garnish: Before serving, stir the overnight oats to incorporate any settled ingredients. Top with chocolate shavings or a dusting of cocoa powder if desired for an extra tiramisu-inspired touch.
Notes
- Use any milk of your choice, such as almond, oat, soy, or cow’s milk to suit your dietary preference.
- Maple syrup or honey can be adjusted based on your preferred sweetness level or switched out for other natural sweeteners.
- For a caffeine-free version, substitute espresso with a coffee-flavored syrup or skip it entirely.
- Chia seeds add extra fiber and help thicken the mixture but can be omitted if preferred.
- Greek yogurt provides creaminess and protein; use dairy-free yogurt for a vegan version.
