Get your caffeine fix and a balanced breakfast in one convenient jar with coffee overnight oats. They are a budget-friendly meal prep, packed with protein and healthy carbs.

What’s even more convenient that hitting that coffee drive-thru? Grabbing a jar of coffee overnight oats from your fridge that provide both a nutritional breakfast and a cup of joe at the same time.

I like to top mine with a creamy protein-packed vanilla bean yogurt mixture that’s inspired by cold foam. It’s like having a vanilla latte! You could also try a chocolate version for a cafe mocha type of vibe.

Other than breakfast, these coffee flavored oats make a great pre-workout snack. They’re packed with carbs and caffeine to help you power you through, and plenty of protein to help your muscles grow.

Ingredients

A bottle of raw honey, a bag of vanilla protein powder, extra thick rolled oats, a bottle of stumptown cold brew coffee, plain greek yogurt, and grass fed milk against a white tile background.

  • Oats – I love Bob’s Red Mill thick-cut oats for any overnight oat recipe.
  • Milk – I like whole milk. Use any cow, nut, soy, coconut, etc milk that you like.
  • Coffee – I like to use cold brew, but you can substitute espresso or strongly brewed coffee.
  • Honey – My preferred sweetener. Feel free to swap in whatever you prefer.
  • Greek yogurt – I use plain Greek yogurt so I can control the sweetness.
  • Vanilla protein powder – This brand has the best flavor ever!

Tips

  1. Use thick-cut rolled oats. Quick oats can get mushy, so stick with rolled oats for the best chewy texture.
  2. Cold brew > regular coffee. Cold brew has a smoother flavor and less acidity than pour over or espresso.
  3. Sweeten to your taste. Honey works perfectly, but you can also try maple syrup or a flavored coffee syrup if you want to switch things up.
