  • 1 cup unsweetened milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp chia seeds
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup or honey
  • 1 vanilla bean, seeds scraped (or 1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract)
  • Pinch of salt
• Coffee Layer
  • 1/2 cup brewed espresso or strong coffee, cooled
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey
• Toppings
  • 1/4 cup whipped cream (dairy or coconut)
  • 1 tbsp mini dark chocolate chips or cocoa nibs (optional)

Instructions

1.

In a medium bowl, combine oats, milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla bean seeds (or extract), and a pinch of salt. Stir well until fully incorporated.

2.

In a small bowl or cup, mix the cooled brewed espresso or coffee with 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey.

3.

Divide half the oat mixture evenly between two 12-oz jars.

4.

Drizzle half of the sweetened coffee mixture over the oats in both jars.

5.

Layer the remaining oat mixture on top, then finish with the rest of the coffee mixture.

6.

Seal the jars and refrigerate overnight (at least 8 hours) to allow the oats to soak and flavors to meld.

7.

In the morning, top each jar with whipped cream, chocolate chips or cocoa nibs, and vanilla granola if desired. Serve cold.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

Make sure to scrape the seeds thoroughly from your vanilla bean to maximize flavor. For convenience, you can prepare these jars the night before and grab them straight from the fridge for a quick breakfast. Stirring the oat base well before layering will ensure even flavor throughout.

Varianten und Anpassungen

Adapt this recipe for a vegan diet by substituting plant-based yogurt, milk, and coconut whipped cream. Feel free to adjust the sweetness to your liking or replace maple syrup with agave syrup. If fresh coffee is unavailable, espresso powder may be mixed directly into the oat mixture as an alternative.

Serviervorschläge

Serve chilled straight from the refrigerator for a refreshing start. Top with your favorite nuts or seeds for extra crunch or a sprinkle of cinnamon to complement the coffee flavor. This oats jar pairs wonderfully with a side of fresh fruit to brighten your morning.

Brew strong espresso or coffee, cool it, then stir in maple syrup or honey before layering over the oats.

→ What are good alternatives for toppings?

Whipped coconut cream, cacao nibs, or your favorite crunchy granola can be used to add texture and flavor.

→ Is it possible to make a vegan version?
