Notes
Double or triple the recipe, transfer it to single-serving mason jars (glass jars), and meal prep the breakfast for an entire week. Then, you just need to grab one jar and take it with you.
Don’t use steel-cut oats or instant oats for this overnight oats recipe.
I used instant coffee powder to make coffee oatmeal, but you can use any coffee you prefer. French press cold brew coffee, an espresso shot, coffee brewed in a moka pot, or even coffee brewed in a simple coffee maker also works fine. If using brewed coffee, then reduce the amount of milk slightly.
You can use skim or low-fat milk instead of whole milk.
To make a vegan version, replace dairy milk with any plant-based milk (dairy-free milk) like almond milk, soy milk, coconut milk, oat milk, etc.
You can replace sugar with honey, agave syrup, maple syrup, or other sweeteners.
