The Best Café Latte Overnight Oats

Picture this: the rich aroma of coffee, the creamy goodness of oats, and the convenience of preparing it all the night before. Yep, we’re talking about a breakfast that practically makes itself while you catch those much-needed ZZZs.

This Café Latte Overnight Oats recipe is designed to perfectly fit a 12oz wide mouth jar. If you need to make larger quantities, you can easily double, triple, or quadruple the recipe in a spacious mixing bowl and then distribute the delicious oats into individual jars.

Ingredients For Café Latte Overnight Oats

• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 1 tbsp chia seeds
• 1/2 tsp real vanilla
• 1 tbsp maple syrup
• 1 pinch sea salt
• 1/3 cup Whole Milk
• 1/3 cup Brewed Espresso
• 1/2 cup Foam For Topping
• 1 tsp cocoa nibs for topping

Directions For Café Latte Overnight Oats

 1. Brew Coffee: Brew a strong cup of coffee and allow it to cool to room temperature.

2. Combine Ingredients: In a 12 oz jar, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, vanilla, maple syrup, sea salt, whole milk and coffee.

3. Mix Well: Stir the ingredients until well combined. Make sure the oats are fully submerged in the liquid.

4. Refrigerate Overnight: Seal the jar with a lid & place the jar in the refrigerator and let it sit overnight, or for at least 4 hours. This allows the oats to absorb the liquid and soften.

5. Add The Toppings: Pour on a generous layer of foam on top of your Café Latte Overnight Oats for that velvety finish. Then, sprinkle a teaspoon of cocoa nibs over the foam for a delightful crunch and an extra burst of chocolatey goodness.

If you do not have a milk frother, you can top with crème fresh, yogurt or whip up your own whipping cream.

After I’ve mixed everything together, I froth some milk for a topping that feels just like the foam on a latte from my favorite coffee shop. It’s a simple touch that makes this recipe feel even more special.

Café Latte Overnight Oats Overnight Oats FAQs

Can I use instant coffee or should I brew a fresh cup for the recipe?

Absolutely! You can use either brewed coffee or instant coffee for convenience. Just make sure it’s strong enough to give it coffee flavor.

How long do I need to let the oats sit in the fridge before eating?

Let the oats sit in the fridge for at least 4 hours, but overnight is best for the best texture and flavor. This allows the oats to absorb the liquid and achieve that perfect, creamy consistency.

Can I use steel-cut oats instead of rolled oats?

Rolled oats work best for overnight oats due to their quicker absorption. Here’s a helpful guide that goes over all of your overnight oats questions.

Can I make a batch for the whole week, or do the oats lose their freshness?

While overnight oats are perfect for meal prep, it’s recommended to consume them within 2-3 days for optimal freshness. Feel free to prep the dry ingredients in advance and add the liquid the night before for a quick and fresh breakfast each day.

The oats are too dry, can I add more liquid?

Yes! After the oats have had a chance to set, you can add more liquid if desired. Just stir it in and then add the toppings.
