Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup brewed coffee
- 1/2 cup raspberries
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, milk, brewed coffee, cocoa powder, honey, and vanilla extract. Whisk thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well integrated and no dry cocoa powder clumps remain.
- Gently fold in half of the fresh raspberries, lightly crushing them to release their juices and create a marbled effect throughout the oat mixture.
- Divide the mixture evenly between two clean glass jars or airtight containers, ensuring each portion is filled to about three-quarters of the container's capacity.
- Cover the containers with tight-fitting lids or plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight, allowing the oats to absorb the liquid and develop a creamy, pudding-like consistency (minimum 6-8 hours).
- Before serving, give the overnight oats a gentle stir to redistribute any settled ingredients and ensure a smooth texture.
- Top each serving with the remaining fresh raspberries, and optionally garnish with additional whole raspberries, a sprinkle of cocoa powder, or a drizzle of honey for extra visual appeal and flavor.
- Serve chilled directly from the refrigerator for the best taste and texture. The overnight oats can be enjoyed cold or brought to room temperature before consuming.
Tips
- Choose the Right Oats: Always use rolled oats (old-fashioned oats) for the best texture. Quick oats can become too mushy, while steel-cut oats remain too firm.
- Liquid Ratio Matters: Maintain a 1:1 ratio of oats to liquid for the perfect creamy consistency. If you prefer thicker oats, reduce liquid slightly.
- Crush Raspberries Strategically: When folding in raspberries, gently crush some to release their juices and create a beautiful marbled effect throughout the oats.
- Prepare Ahead: These overnight oats can be prepared up to 3-4 days in advance, making them perfect for meal prep.
- Customize Your Toppings: While the recipe suggests garnishing with raspberries, feel free to add nuts, seeds, or a dollop of Greek yogurt for extra protein and texture.
- Temperature Tip: While best enjoyed chilled, you can let the oats sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before eating if you prefer a slightly less cold breakfast.
- Storage Hack: Always store overnight oats in airtight containers to maintain freshness and prevent absorption of other refrigerator odors.
