I’ve been on the overnight oats bandwagon for quite some time now. Despite all the recipes that I see on blogs, it was actually Mom’s hairdresser that finally got me to make a batch.
And now, they are my favorite quick and easy breakfast. They are healthy, vegan, gluten free, and ready to go in the morning when I know I’ll busy and don’t want to spend tons of time thinking about what I’m having for breakfast or making it.
I always start with gluten free oats and almond or coconut milk, but from there, the sky is the limit. Sometimes I add cinnamon or ginger. Vanilla is a great go-to. So is carob or cocoa powder. Oh and dried fruit is fun too because it adds some sweetness and the fruit becomes so plump and juicy.
The sky is basically the limit with overnight oats and the different flavor possibilities. So when this Sunday Supper’s theme was coffee and I didn’t want to bake something, I thought coffee would be a welcome addition to overnight oats.
And it is, but milk and sugar are musts because the bitterness is intensified by soaking overnight with the oats. So if you love coffee, you will love these, and if not, maybe mix your oats with something different.
I am on a huge coffee kick, so I really enjoyed kick starting my morning with some caffeine and this healthy, hearty dish!

What a yummy breakfast!!! Coffee and oats all in one!!!
I am going to forward this to my friend Anna. She loves coffee and Starbuck’s (she is German and most Germans love their coffee and Starbuck’s) and oats for breakfast! Great recipe. Thanks.
Oh my German friend Anna will love this. She loves oats, coffee and Starbucks. I will pass it on to her. It looks so creamy and delicious!
I used to add coffee to my frosted flakes, this would be awesome
OMG! Really??? I need to try coffee and cereal.
I keep meaning to make overnight oats as I know I’ll love them. I just haven’t actually done it yet. This is a recipe that I know I will really love. I need to make some and an extra to share with my little brother!
I hope you give this a try, Carlee. They are so easy to make.
I will definitely be trying this recipe, love, love rolled oats, just want to make sure that because you are soaking them all-night you do not have to cook, right?
You do not have to cook them. I always eat them cold, but you could warm them up in the morning.
Wow, my morning coffee and cereal in the same bowl! FUN idea. This looks terrific — very creative. Thanks.
Sounds really interesting, I have never heard of making oats with coffee before. I think I will try this!
