Delicious caramel and coconut latte overnight oats, sweetened with dates.
If you’re like me, you like coffee for its flavor and not only for the energy boost. That’s why I love this recipe. It has a rich coffee taste from the cold brew and a creamy texture from the coconut milk. Dates add a sweet caramel-like flavor and you end up with oats that taste like a sweet and creamy latte. The recipe has a few steps, but trust me, it’s quite simple and totally worth the effort! You also have the option to skip a few steps!
First, you can start by making your cold brew. It needs to soak overnight, so the first night you soak your coffee grounds and the second night you soak your oats in the cold brew and milk. You can use this tutorial to make homemade cold brew, but you can also use brewed coffee if you want to skip this step. You won’t get the same smooth coffee flavor, but it’ll still taste great! There’s also the option of buying cold brew, but I find it a bit too pricey for my student budget.
The next step is to make your date caramel (you can use this easy tutorial). Once again, you can skip this step. Simply add finely chopped Medjool dates or a drizzle of maple syrup to sweeten the recipe.
Next, you can make some coconut whipped cream, but that’s totally optional! I don’t blame you if you decide to keep it simple and skip this step.
Finally, you soak your oats the night before and enjoy a quick breakfast in the morning! It’s the BEST overnight oats recipe for fall. Trust me, it’s better than dessert!
