Description

Start your day with a delicious and energizing Mocha Overnight Oats, a perfectly blended jar of oats, chia seeds, cocoa, and coffee that’s ready to eat in the morning. This easy no-cook breakfast combines the rich flavors of mocha with the convenience of overnight soaking, creating a creamy and satisfying meal packed with fiber and antioxidants.

Ingredients

Scale

Overnight Oats Base

  • 1/2 cup Old Fashioned Rolled Oats
  • 2 tablespoons Chia Seeds
  • 1 tablespoon Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Honey
  • 1 Banana
  • 1/2 cup Coffee

Instructions

  1. Combine dry ingredients: Place 1/2 cup old fashioned rolled oats, 2 tablespoons chia seeds, and 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder into a serving jar or bowl. These ingredients form the base of your overnight oats and will soak up moisture to become creamy.
  2. Add sweeteners and fruit: Add 1 teaspoon honey and 1 whole banana (either sliced or mashed) to the jar. The banana adds natural sweetness and creaminess while the honey enhances flavor.
  3. Add coffee and mix: Pour 1/2 cup brewed coffee over the mixture. Seal the jar with a lid or plastic wrap and stir or shake well to combine all ingredients evenly. This step ensures that the coffee infuses the oats with mocha flavor.
  4. Refrigerate overnight: Place the sealed jar in the refrigerator for 6 to 8 hours or overnight. During this time, the oats and chia seeds absorb the liquid, softening and thickening for a creamy texture.
  5. Serve chilled: In the morning, give the oats a good stir and enjoy cold. Optionally, top with Greek yogurt, fresh fruit, or a sprinkle of cocoa powder for added texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Use strong brewed coffee or espresso for a bolder mocha flavor.
  • For a vegan version, replace honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
  • If you prefer sweeter oats, increase the honey slightly or add a splash of vanilla extract.
  • The chia seeds contribute to thickening; if you dislike the texture, reduce amount to 1 tablespoon.
  • You can prepare multiple jars at once for easy grab-and-go breakfasts throughout the week.
