My Espresso Coffee Overnight Oats are the perfect start to the day. They are incredibly creamy and delicious, so easy to prepare and have perfect coffee flavour. Taking just a few minutes of preparation time before bed, these oats will be ready for any coffee lover to enjoy in the morning!
Make your coffee - I used an espresso coffee machine and made two shots of coffee, running for ¼ cup (60 ml) each shot. Set the coffee aside to cool for a few minutes.
In a medium-size bowl, add the coffee, maple syrup, milk and yoghurt and whisk until well combined.
Add the oats and chia seeds and stir to combine.
Cover the bowl with clingwrap, or divide the mixture into two glasses or mason jars and cover. Refrigerate for 6 hours or overnight.
Serve with toppings of your choice and additional milk if the mixture is too thick.
Notes
Coffee: I used an espresso coffee machine and used two shots of coffee, running each for ¼ cup (60 ml). You can also use a filter, plunger or Moka pot.
Milk: use milk of your choice. I use almond or oat milk. Add more milk when serving if you prefer a thinner texture.
Tablespoon: we use a standard Australian tablespoon which is 20 ml (4 teaspoons).
Toppings: the toppings are optional (and are not included in the nutritional information). Use toppings of your liking - see suggestions above.
