High Protein Coffee Overnight Oats
Creamy coffee overnight oats made with brewed coffee, hearty oats, greek yogurt, and your choice of protein powder for a filling breakfast to start your morning. These protein-packed coffee overnight oats are easy to make and are extra delicious with a little cacao powder and a few chocolate chips for a mocha flavor!

Calories 441cal
Ingredients
- ½ cup plain greek yogurt
- ¾ cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- ½ cup cooled coffee or cold brew
- 1 to 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup, to sweeten to your liking
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup rolled oats, gluten free if desired
- 1 scoop (4 tablespoons) protein powder of choice (I used unflavored collagen peptides)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- Optional to make them ‘mocha’ flavored: 2 to 3 teaspoons cacao powder (or sub unsweetened cocoa powder)
- 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, add yogurt, milk, coffee (or cold brew), pure maple syrup (see notes below), and vanilla extract. Whisk together until well combined. Stir in oats, protein powder, chia seeds, and cacao powder until well combined. Fold in 1 heaping tablespoon of the mini chocolate chips.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 4 hours or overnight. Once ready to serve, divide between two 12 ounce mason jars (or just scoop and serve into bowls as desired.) Serve with an extra dollop of yogurt on top and sprinkle with remaining chocolate chips. These are also delicious with a drizzle or spoonful of almond butter for some healthy fats and extra protein. Serves 2.
Notes
For the maple syrup: I suggest starting with 1 tablespoon, tasting the oats, and adding another tablespoon if you'd like them to be sweeter.
