These high-protein coffee overnight oats are a simple make-ahead breakfast that’s smooth, creamy, and has a deliciously rich coffee taste. More like a slow-morning treat than a typical bowl of oats, layer with yoghurt and finish with a light dusting of cocoa for a subtle tiramisu-style twist.
Add the milk, then sweeten with honey or maple syrup to suit your taste.
Stir well, checking all the ingredients are fully combined.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight, until thick and creamy.
To serve, top with yoghurt and a dusting of cocoa powder, if desired.
Tips
Preparation Tips: To avoid lumps, stir well to fully combine the protein in the mixture. For a thicker texture, use slightly less milk or add an extra sprinkle of chia seeds.
Substitute Suggestion: Use dairy-free milk if preferred. The yoghurt topping is optional, or you can choose dairy-free instead
Storage Instruction: Store covered in the fridge for up to 3 days. Stir and add a splash of milk before serving if needed.
