Perfect for coffee lovers seeking a nutritious and easy-to-prepare meal that can be made ahead and enjoyed chilled.
Ingredients
Overnight Oats Base
- 1/2 cup rolled oats (any type)
- 1/2 tablespoon maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1 dash pure vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons espresso (or any brewed coffee)
- 2 tablespoons mascarpone cheese
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk variant)
Toppings
- 1 tablespoon vanilla yogurt (or coconut whipped cream)
- unsweetened cacao powder (for dusting)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a mason jar or a bowl, add rolled oats, maple syrup, pure vanilla extract, brewed espresso, mascarpone, and almond milk. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
- Refrigerate: Cover the jar or bowl with a lid or saran wrap and place it in the refrigerator. Allow the mixture to soak for a minimum of four hours, or ideally overnight, so the oats absorb the liquid and flavors develop fully.
- Add Toppings and Serve: After soaking time, remove from the fridge. Stir gently if needed, add a dollop of vanilla yogurt or coconut whipped cream on top, and dust with unsweetened cacao powder. Serve chilled for the best taste and texture.
- Storage: Keep any leftovers refrigerated in a sealed container for up to 3 to 4 days. This dish is meant to be eaten cold and enjoyed fresh.
Notes
- You can substitute almond milk with any other plant-based or dairy milk according to preference.
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup used.
- For a vegan option, use plant-based yogurt and mascarpone alternatives.
- Espresso or strongly brewed coffee can be replaced with decaf if desired.
- The soaking time can be extended overnight to enhance texture and flavor absorption.
