Cold Brew Coffee Overnight Protein Oatmeal
I know I teased you with this Cold Brew Coffee Overnight Proats recipe last week on Instagram…. ooooops! Are we still friends? I just had to share because I can’t shake how happy I am in the morning when I get to eat my coffee and oatmeal all in one bowl.
Okay, let’s be honest. I still drink my coffee too. But double coffee 🙂 🙂 🙂 Oh yea, I knew we are still besties.
This recipe is super easy to meal prep (which I L O V E)… because I don’t always have the energy to cook and clean right when I wake up. #priorities. Y’all with me? Making these babies the night or weekend before is soooo my style. Cold Brew Coffee Overnight Protein Oatmeal to greet me in the fridge (after I’ve brewed my coffee)… now that’s a breakfast of champions right there.
I know how much y’all love your overnight oats and protein shakes laced with coffee so I decided to do a mash up and this recipe for proats was born! Can I get an amen?
Hope you’re week is off to a great start! If you like coffee recipes be sure to hit REPLY to this email or leave a COMMENT below 🙂

delish! I won’t use maple syrup to avoid sugars, but add 1/4 tsp stevia powder instead, and 1/4 tsp. cinnamon just because, or sometimes a sprinkle of unsweetened cocoa powder. Very yum..

Thanks!! So glad you liked it.
Hi! If you were to use cold brew concentrate, would you mix it with water first? Thanks!
Yes, I would add water to the concentrate to make it like cold brew coffee.
Can you use regular brewed coffee you let cool instead of a cold brew? It sounds delicious I just don’t have cold brew!!
yes, you can absolutely do that 🙂
Are those coffee beans on the table and in the oatmeal?
They are on the surface for decor but I used pre-made cold brew coffee (or iced coffee) in the recipe.
Love this! I’m doing a roundup of all protein oatmeal recipes over on my blog and would love to feature yours! It’ll be mostly my own recipes but I want to throw a few other unique recipes in there that I haven’t tried yet! 🙂
I love overnight oats and these look delicious. What a great idea for cold brew coffee. I’m going to try making this.
Saw this yesterday so thought I would give it a try. I don’t drink milk (of any kind) so added an additional 1/4 c of coffee and used chocolate protein powder instead of vanilla. Added some sunflower seeds to it in the morning to give it a little crunch (did not use chia seeds), and it was absolutely delicious. This is probably going to be my new food addiction for the summer months! Love it!
