ingredients
To make these Chocolate Coffee Overnight Oats, you need a few simple ingredients:
- Coffee. Use your favorite type of hot brewed coffee OR cold beer. The temperature of the coffee doesn’t matter, but hot coffee will make the oatmeal ready faster.
- Old fashioned oats. Also known as rolled oats, this whole-grain cereal becomes smooth and creamy after being refrigerated overnight.
- Cocoa powder. Combining cocoa powder with milk, coffee, and sweetener makes it pretty much just chocolate milk. Yum!
- Sweetener. A liquid sweetener like maple syrup, honey, or agave syrup mixes best.
- Milk of your choice. Soy milk, almond milk, or any other milk you have on hand will work here. You can also use chocolate milk for a super chocolaty result.
- Condiments. Fresh raspberries or strawberries paired with sliced almonds and these chocolate oatmeal are a perfect match.
- A pinch of salt. Using a small amount of salt increases the sweetness of these overnight oats.
Step by step instructions
- Make 1 cup of coffee OR you can use iced coffee.
- Divide the dry oats, cocoa powder and salt between two pint-sized ball jars.
- Divide the milk, coffee and sweetener between the two jars. Mix until combined.
- Leave to rest overnight or for at least 4 hours before enjoying.
- Top with 2 tablespoons of chopped nuts and ¼ cup of fresh fruit for a well-balanced breakfast.
Recipe FAQs and expert advice
- Sweetness: If you don’t like black coffee, I recommend increasing the sweetener to taste or the coffee flavor may be too strong. You can even add a splash of your favorite cream!
- Additional components: Chia seeds can be omitted or substituted with ground flaxseed for protein and fiber. Add a tablespoon of nut butter for a peanut butter, chocolate, and coffee combo (trust me, it’s really good and similar to this Chocolate Peanut Butter Shake).
I usually use freshly brewed coffee, but leftover iced coffee works too. You can also use cold beer. Mocha-flavored iced coffee and other flavored coffees are also delicious here.
YES! I actually like this recipe even more heated. You can heat them on the stove over medium-low heat until heated through.
Yes, this recipe is easy to cut in half or double for a week of breakfast prep. I recommend dividing the ingredients among the jars instead of mixing them together in a bowl.
Store overnight oats in the refrigerator in a closed container for 3 to 4 days. They will get softer and creamier the longer they are refrigerated.
