- 1 cup rolled oats - 1 cup almond milk (or your milk of choice) - 1 tablespoon chia seeds - 2 tablespoons caramel sauce, plus extra for drizzling - 1 teaspoon instant coffee granules - 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional) - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract - Pinch of salt - 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (optional) - Chopped nuts for topping For this recipe, I use simple, easy-to-find ingredients. Rolled oats form the base. They soak up the flavors and become soft. Almond milk adds creaminess and a nutty taste. You can swap it for any milk you like. Chia seeds are a great addition. They help thicken the mix and boost nutrition. Caramel sauce gives the oats a sweet, rich flavor. Instant coffee granules add that coffee kick. If you want more sweetness, you can use maple syrup. Vanilla extract adds warmth and depth. A pinch of salt helps balance the sweetness. Greek yogurt makes the oats creamy and adds protein. Finally, chopped nuts on top add crunch and texture. These ingredients make a delicious breakfast. You can prepare it the night before. Enjoy it the next morning! {{ingredient_image_1}} 1. In a medium bowl or jar, combine 1 cup of rolled oats, 1 tablespoon of chia seeds, and a pinch of salt. This mix gives your oats a nice base. 2. In a separate bowl, mix 1 cup of almond milk, 1 teaspoon of instant coffee granules, 2 tablespoons of caramel sauce, 1 tablespoon of maple syrup (if you want it sweeter), and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Stir until everything blends well. 3. Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the oats and chia seeds. Stir until all the oats are coated nicely. If you like creaminess, fold in 1/4 cup of Greek yogurt. 4. Now, transfer the mixture to a mason jar or any airtight container. Cover it tightly and refrigerate it overnight or for at least 4 hours. This lets the oats soak and soften. 5. In the morning, take a look at your oats. Stir them to mix everything. If they seem too thick, add a splash of milk to loosen them up. 6. Top your oats with chopped nuts like pecans or almonds and an extra drizzle of caramel sauce. Enjoy your delicious breakfast! To get the texture just right, start with the right amount of liquid. You want your oats to be creamy but not runny. If your oats seem too thick, add more milk or yogurt. A splash of milk in the morning can help loosen them up. If you like your oats thicker, reduce the liquid by a bit. Toppings can take your oats to the next level. I love adding chopped nuts like pecans or almonds for crunch. You can also drizzle extra caramel sauce on top for sweetness. If you want more sweetness, try adding a tablespoon of maple syrup. It pairs well with the coffee flavor. Making a larger batch is easy. Just double the recipe and use a big jar. You can store overnight oats for meal prep. They last in the fridge for about three days. This way, you have a quick breakfast ready to go. Just remember to check the consistency each morning. Pro Tips Choose the Right Oats: For the best texture, use rolled oats instead of instant oats. They absorb the liquid well while maintaining a pleasing chewiness. Adjust Sweetness to Taste: If you prefer your oats less sweet, start with less maple syrup or caramel, and add more later if needed. Mix and Match Flavors: Feel free to experiment with different flavors by adding cocoa powder, cinnamon, or even pumpkin spice for a seasonal twist. Storage Tips: These overnight oats can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days, making them perfect for meal prep! {{image_2}} You can switch up the taste of your caramel latte overnight oats easily. Try adding different nuts like pecans or almonds. Chopped nuts add a nice crunch. They also bring a rich flavor that pairs well with caramel. You can also experiment with flavored milk alternatives. Use oat milk, coconut milk, or even cashew milk. Each one gives a unique twist to the dish. If you follow a vegan or gluten-free diet, this recipe can adapt to your needs. Use almond milk or any plant-based milk for vegan options. For gluten-free oats, make sure to choose certified gluten-free rolled oats. You can also substitute sweeteners. Instead of maple syrup, use agave nectar or stevia. These options help you adjust the sweetness to your taste. Seasonal fruits can really elevate your overnight oats. In spring or summer, add fresh berries like strawberries or blueberries. They add color and a pop of flavor. In the fall, try adding sliced bananas or diced apples. These fruits blend well with the caramel and coffee flavors. You can even sprinkle some cinnamon for an extra warm touch. For storing your caramel latte overnight oats, use a mason jar or an airtight container. This keeps the oats fresh and prevents any odors from the fridge. Make sure to seal the container tightly. If you plan to add toppings, store them separately until you're ready to eat. These oats taste best within three days. After that, they may lose some texture and flavor. Keep an eye on them. If you notice any off smells or changes in color, it's best to toss them. You can enjoy these oats cold or warm. If you prefer them warm, place the oats in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat them in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until they reach your desired warmth. Add a splash of milk if they seem too thick. Top with nuts and extra caramel before serving for a delightful finish! You can use many types of milk. Here are some options: - Soy milk - Oat milk - Cashew milk - Coconut milk Each milk has its own taste. Choose what you like best. Soy milk gives a creamy texture. Oat milk adds a slight sweetness. Cashew milk is rich and smooth. Coconut milk offers a tropical flair. Yes, you can! Here are some alternatives: - Brewed coffee - Cold brew concentrate - Coffee flavor extract - Espresso powder Brewed coffee works well if you want a fresh taste. Cold brew is smooth and less acidic. Coffee flavor extract adds a strong coffee taste without beans. Espresso powder gives a rich flavor, perfect for coffee lovers. You can skip added sugar easily. Here are some tips: - Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness. - Add more caramel sauce for flavor without sugar. - Try unsweetened applesauce as a sweetener. - Use vanilla extract for a hint of sweetness. These options keep your oats tasty without extra sugar. Adjust to your taste for a delicious breakfast! This blog post covered how to make delicious overnight oats.
