Base Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup milk (dairy or plant) Can use dairy or plant-based milk
  • 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt Can substitute with dairy-free yogurt
  • 1 scoop vanilla or unflavored protein powder (about 20–25 g) Optional, can skip for a protein-rich alternative
  • 2 tablespoons strong brewed coffee, cooled, or 1 teaspoon instant espresso Use strong coffee for best flavor
  • 1 teaspoon cocoa powder plus extra to dust For dusting on top
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds Optional
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup Adjust to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 tablespoon mascarpone or cottage cheese Optional for extra creaminess

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a jar or bowl, add oats, protein powder, cocoa powder, chia seeds, and salt. Stir dry mix.
  2. Pour in milk, Greek yogurt, coffee, vanilla, and sweetener. Stir well until mixed and smooth.
  3. If using mascarpone or cottage cheese, fold it in now for a creamy layer.
  4. Cover the jar, place in the fridge, and chill at least 4 hours, or overnight for best texture.
Serving
  1. In the morning, stir the oats. Add a splash of milk if too thick.
  2. Dust cocoa on top and add coffee-soaked berries or shaved dark chocolate if desired.
  3. Eat cold or warm for 30 seconds in the microwave if preferred.

Notes

Use cold, strong coffee for a clear coffee flavor. Let it sit overnight for the best texture. Store jars in the fridge and consume within 3 days for freshness.
