Creamy mocha chocolate chip overnight oats combine the bold flavors of coffee and chocolate in a grab-and-go breakfast jar. This easy, decadent recipe is perfect for coffee lovers and busy mornings, offering a comforting, energizing start to your day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats (old-fashioned, not quick-cooking)
  • 1/2 cup brewed coffee (cold or room temperature)
  • 1/2 cup oat milk (or any milk of choice)
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips (dark or semi-sweet)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: 1 scoop protein powder (about 1 oz)
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon nut butter (almond, peanut, or cashew)
  • Optional: Shredded coconut (unsweetened)

Instructions

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together brewed coffee, oat milk, Greek yogurt, and cocoa powder until smooth and no lumps remain.
  2. Stir in maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until fully combined.
  3. Add rolled oats and chia seeds. Stir well to coat oats evenly. If using protein powder or nut butter, mix them in now.
  4. Gently fold in mini chocolate chips, reserving a few for topping if desired.
  5. Divide the mixture evenly among 2-3 mason jars or airtight containers (about 3/4 cup per jar). Seal tightly and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 6 hours.
  6. In the morning, stir each jar. If too thick, add a splash of milk. Top with extra chocolate chips, berries, or nut butter as desired.
  7. Serve cold from the fridge, or microwave for 30 seconds and stir if you prefer warm oats.

Notes

For best texture, use rolled oats and whisk cocoa powder with liquids first to avoid clumps. Brewed coffee gives a richer flavor than instant. Adjust sweetness and thickness by varying maple syrup and chia seeds. Make it gluten-free by using certified gluten-free oats, and dairy-free by swapping Greek yogurt and milk for plant-based alternatives. Oats keep in the fridge for up to 4 days and can be frozen for up to 1 month.
