These Caramel Macchiato Overnight Oats come together in about 10 minutes and require no baking for a quick and easy breakfast that your family will love!
Ingredient Breakdown
Let’s dive into what you’ll need to whip up these amazing overnight oats. It’s a pretty simple lineup, but oh, the flavors you’ll create!
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 cup brewed coffee
- 2 tablespoons caramel sauce
- 1 tablespoon sweetener (optional)
- A pinch of salt
- Extra caramel for drizzling
The best part? Homemade caramel sauce for drizzling on top before you dig in. This step is optional, but it makes for a beautiful presentation and delivers more of that sweet, comforting flavor.
Let’s Get Cooking!
Alright, you’re ready to dive into the delicious world of overnight oats! Here’s how I make this recipe, and it’s super simple, I promise!
In a bowl or jar, combine the rolled oats, milk, brewed coffee, sweetener (if using), and a pinch of salt. Mix it up gently to ensure everything is well integrated. You want those oats to be completely soaked, so give them a good stir. It’s really therapeutic, you know?
Cover the bowl or jar and pop it in the refrigerator overnight. Yep, this is where the magic happens! The oats will soak up all that liquid and become soft and creamy.
The next morning, when you wake up to a delicious smell wafting through your kitchen, okay, it might be your coffee machine doing the work here, but still, give the oats a good stir to bring everything back together.
Now, drizzle with that homemade caramel sauce before serving! If you want to get fancy, a sprinkle of sea salt or chopped nuts would be amazing too.
The best part is how customizable it is: you can add fruits, nuts, or even switch up the flavors depending on what’s in your pantry. Sometimes I toss in some bananas or berries for a pop of color and freshness. It’s comfort food, I tell ya!
