There’s something so wholesome about oatmeal for breakfast. It’s traditional, filling, delicious and easy to make. It’s completely customizable, which is probably my favorite thing about it. For those who don’t have time to cook breakfast in the mornings, oatmeal can be prepared the night before. The oats soak overnight and are soft and ready for you the next morning. Today I’m sharing a delicious recipe for coffee lovers. Coffee maple overnight oats is so easy to make and if you’re really in a rush, It’ll save you time waiting for the coffee to brew and the breakfast to cook. Two birds one stone!
To make the oats creamy, I use almond milk and Greek yogurt. It also adds healthy protein to fuel your morning. Coffee and maple syrup are a wonderful combination for breakfast, they add a delicious sweet coffee flavor, and can also give a boost of energy. Rolled oats and chia seeds provide a nice texture and prevent over-mushiness. I love to top it off with a bit (ok, maybe a lot) of whipped cream and a chocolate sauce.
All of these ingredients are totally customizable, feel free to substitute any of these ingredients for your favorites. Make it your own. Whatever you do, I hope you love it!
