One Green Planet, Coffee Chia Overnight Oats
Note - while I would like to credit the original author of this recipe, I found this recipe several years ago and it doesn’t seem to be on the website any longer.
why do i like it?
I am always looking for a way to get more protein, especially at breakfast, so this recipe really addresses that need! The combination of coffee with vanilla and nut butter makes a great twist on oatmeal. I love to serve it with fresh fruit and cacao nibs for some crunch. It is so convenient to have this waiting in the fridge, pop it into the microwave to heat it up for a fast, hearty breakfast.
Any recipe notes or tweaks?
The original recipe didn’t have enough coffee flavor so I adjusted the ratio of plant-based milk to coffee. Also, I found it worked best to mix the dry ingredients before adding the wet then mixing again with the wet ingredients. So the technique is different from the original!
