    Serve Hot or Cold

    Even though this is an overnight oats recipe, you could really eat this right after making the coffee, and eat it hot. I like it hot or cold. After brewing the coffee, the oats just need to sit for a little while to soak up the coffee's goodness.

    Cold brewed coffee would also work great in this. I make it often because it is less acidic than regular brewed coffee.

    🧾 Ingredients

    • Gluten-free rolled oats: Old-fashioned rolled oats work best for overnight oats. They get soft enough while not being too mushy.
    • Cacao powder: Adds a rich chocolaty flavor. You could also use cocoa powder.
    • Agave syrup: I used agave syrup because it is one of my favorite sweeteners. You could also use maple syrup, dates, brown sugar, white sugar, or a sugar-free sweetener
    • Coffee: I like cold brew coffee because it is less acidic.
    • Chia seeds: For protein and fiber. You could leave them out.
    • Almond butter: Adds a nutty flavor and protein.
    • Chocolate chips or chunks: For some dark rich chocolaty goodness. For a healthier version, you could use cacao nibs.

    **Important!

    If you are gluten free you may want to avoid coffee altogether. I personally have never had a problem drinking it, and I have a gluten intolerance. It is probably because I drink whole bean organic coffee, and grind it myself.

    I learned after posting my Vegan Bulletproof Coffee from some readers on Facebook that it can be problematic for people who don't tolerate gluten. So I did some research and one article mentioned to try organic whole bean coffee because it isn't highly processed causing cross-reactivity issues.

    So please do the research yourself, and test it out. I try to only post recipes that are 100% gluten free since I have a gluten intolerance. I am really careful about avoiding gluten in my daily life, so this was all news to me.

      Just a note. If using cold brew, definitely dilute it! Or use 2 to 3 T cold brew and 1/2 cup almond milk. I tried with straight cold brew the first time and it was very strong!5 stars

        Thanks Brenda, great tip! I have made cold brewed coffee a few times and always add water when I'm ready to drink it since it is so concentrated, although everyone probably makes it differently.
