Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1/4 cup brewed espresso or strong coffee (cooled)
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon caramel sauce (plus extra for drizzling)
- 1-2 teaspoons maple syrup or sweetener of choice
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Optional Toppings
- Whipped cream
- Extra caramel drizzle
- Sea salt flakes
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a mason jar or airtight container, add the rolled oats, almond milk, cooled espresso, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, caramel sauce, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well mixed and evenly distributed.
- Refrigerate: Cover the jar or container tightly and place it in the refrigerator. Let it chill for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquids and develop a creamy texture.
- Stir and Adjust: In the morning, give the oats a good stir. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash of milk to loosen it to your desired consistency.
- Add Toppings and Serve: Top your caramel macchiato overnight oats with whipped cream, an extra drizzle of caramel sauce, and a sprinkle of sea salt flakes if you like. Serve chilled and enjoy your flavorful, ready-to-eat breakfast.
Notes
- To make this recipe vegan, substitute the Greek yogurt with a dairy-free yogurt and use vegan-friendly caramel sauce.
- For added protein, stir in a scoop of your favorite protein powder before refrigerating.
- Adjust sweetness according to your preference by varying the amount of maple syrup or sweetener.
