Salted Caramel Mocha Overnight Oats Tips:

Salted caramel, coffee and chocolate are the perfect combination for overnight oatmeal. Enjoy your delectably soaked oats with help from these tips to make the meal prep even more tasty and delicious.

Use rolled oats instead of steel cut oats or quick oats when making this overnight oatmeal recipe. Rolled oat provides a nice balance of soft and crunchy texture when soaked overnight. Steel cut oats tend to be overly chewy when only soaked for one night and quick oats get very mushy when soaked.
Although oats are gluten free, it’s recommended to purchase certified gluten free if you follow a strict wheat free diet.
If the mixture seems too thick, then add more liquid too thin it out when serving. The overnight oatmeal water ratio of 2:1 liquid to oats is a good guideline to follow.
Make a large batch and store each serving in separate mason jars for up to 5 days in the refrigerator.
Add a scoop of Greek yogurt to make it extra creamy and also increase the amount of protein.
Sweeten the no cook oats to your personal preference by adjusting the amount of caramel sauce.
Protein powder or chia seeds are a great addition for a post workout energy boost.

½ cup rolled oats
¾ cup cold brew coffee
1 tablespoon half and half
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tablespoons caramel sauce
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
pinch sea salt

Instructions

In a medium sized bowl or overnight oats jar, combine the rolled oats, coffee, half and half, cocoa powder, 1 1/2 tablespoons of caramel sauce, vanilla and sea salt; stir well to combine the mixture.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 12 hours so that the oats fully absorb the liquid.
To serve, stir the overnight soaked oats to combine the soft bottom with the crunchy top layer. Garnish the oatmeal with whipped cream, the remaining caramel sauce, cocoa powder, crushed hazelnuts or your preferred oatmeal toppings.

Notes

Make this recipe vegan by substituting the half and half for a dairy-free alternative. In addition, make sure that the caramel sauce is non-dairy.
Loosen up the oatmeal to make a porridge style consistency by adding a splash of liquid just before serving.
The overnight oatmeal is good for about 5 days when kept in the fridge.
