Caffè Mocha Overnight Oats Tips:

The caffè mocha overnight oats tips are handy to keep your oatmeal fresh and enjoyable every time. Incorporate the helpful hints to take your no cook oatmeal to the next level.

  • Add a spoonful of chocolate flavored yogurt or chocolate protein powder if you are looking for an additional nutritional boost. 
  • Try adding cocoa nibs or mini chocolate chips to the oat base for an extra crunchy texture.
  • Instead of quick oats or steel cut oat, stick with rolled oats for this recipe. The quick oats are thinner and have less texture than the rolled oats and steel cut oats are very chewy when only soaked.
  • Always stir the soaked oats before adding toppings and serving. The bottom layer tends to be fairly mushy compared to the chewy top layer of the oatmeal, they taste amazing when combined together.
  • Add a splash of liquid if the mixture seems too thick when serving. The water ratio of 2:1 liquid to overnight oats is a helpful guide. 
  • Store the no cook oatmeal in the fridge for up to 5 days. Have the make ahead meal prep ready to go for the entire workweek.
