A make-ahead breakfast that combines rich coffee and chocolate flavors with creamy oats. Naturally sweetened with banana, it’s a satisfying, healthy start to any busy day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large ripe banana, mashed
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon instant coffee granules or espresso powder
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 1 cup milk of choice
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey, or to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, mash the ripe banana until mostly smooth.
  2. Add the oats, chia seeds, cocoa powder, instant coffee, and salt to the bowl. Stir until well combined and the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
  3. Pour in the milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir vigorously for about one minute to ensure everything is fully incorporated.
  4. Divide the mixture evenly between two 12-16 ounce jars or airtight containers. Seal the jars with lids.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, but ideally overnight (8 hours), to allow the oats to soften and the mixture to thicken.
  6. Before serving, stir the oats. Add a splash of milk if a looser consistency is desired. Top with your favorite additions and enjoy.

Notes

For gluten-free, use certified gluten-free oats. For a vegan version, use plant-based milk and maple syrup. The oats keep in the fridge for up to 4 days. Add toppings like fresh fruit, nuts, or chocolate chips just before serving to maintain texture.
