Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon instant coffee or espresso powder (adjust to taste)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk of choice (dairy or plant-based)
  • 1 tablespoon sweetener (maple syrup, honey, or preferred sweetener)
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Toppings (Optional)

  • Chopped nuts or seeds
  • Fresh berries or banana slices
  • Chocolate syrup or shaved dark chocolate
  • Toasted coconut flakes

Instructions

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a bowl or jar, mix the rolled oats, cocoa powder, and instant coffee powder thoroughly to evenly distribute the flavors and prevent clumps.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in your choice of milk, stir in the sweetener, vanilla extract, and Greek yogurt if using. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the container tightly and place it in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours or overnight. This allows the oats to soak up the mocha flavors and soften perfectly.
  4. Give It a Good Stir: Before serving, stir the mixture to loosen it. If the oats seem too thick, add a splash of milk to reach your desired consistency.
  5. Add Toppings and Serve: Top with your favorite chopped nuts, fresh fruits, or a drizzle of chocolate syrup for an indulgent and energizing breakfast.

Notes

  • Choose quality coffee powder for the best mocha flavor.
  • Adjust sweetness after resting, as flavors mellow overnight.
  • Use rolled oats only to maintain texture; avoid instant oats.
  • For bolder mocha depth, blend coffee powder with a small spoon of espresso powder.
  • Prepare in individual portion-sized jars for convenience and easy grab-and-go breakfasts.
