Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup (45g) old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/3 cup (80ml) strong brewed coffee or espresso, cooled
- 1/3 cup (80g) Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2%)
- 1/3 cup (80ml) milk (dairy or plant-based like almond or oat milk)
- 2 tbsp cream cheese or mascarpone cheese, softened
- 1–2 tbsp maple syrup or honey, to taste
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- Unsweetened cocoa powder for dusting (about 1 tbsp)
- Optional: pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg
Instructions
- Brew a strong cup of coffee or espresso (about 1/3 cup / 80ml) and let it cool completely.
- In a bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt and softened cream cheese or mascarpone until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
- Stir in maple syrup or honey and vanilla extract into the creamy mixture. Adjust sweetness to taste.
- In a jar or container, add rolled oats. Pour in the cooled coffee and milk. Stir gently to combine evenly.
- Spoon the creamy yogurt mixture over the oats and coffee blend, layering gently without overmixing.
- Seal the container with a lid and refrigerate overnight or for at least 6 hours.
- In the morning, gently stir if desired and dust generously with unsweetened cocoa powder. Optionally sprinkle cinnamon.
- If oats are too thick, stir in a splash more milk to loosen the texture.
Notes
Use old-fashioned rolled oats for best texture; avoid instant oats to prevent mushiness. Soften cream cheese well before mixing to avoid lumps. Chill at least 6 hours or overnight for best flavor and texture. Cool coffee completely before mixing to avoid cooking oats. Adjust sweetness to balance coffee bitterness. For dairy-free, swap Greek yogurt with coconut or almond yogurt and use plant-based milk and dairy-free cream cheese alternatives.
