Equipment

2 small mason jars or glass jars

Ingredients

1 cup oats (quick oats or old fashioned oats)
3 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder + more to decorate
1½ tablespoon chia seeds
Pinch of salt
3 tablespoon espresso or brewed coffee (equiv. 2 espresso shots), cooled
1¼ cups unsweetened almond milk (or other non-dairy milk, like soy)
2½ tablespoon pure maple syrup
1¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup coconut yogurt (or yogurt of choice)

Instructions

In a large bowl, mix together oats, cocoa powder, chia seeds and salt.
Add espresso (or other coffee), milk, 2 tablespoon maple syrup and 1 teaspoon vanilla (reserve remaining maple syrup and vanilla for later). Mix together thoroughly.
Pour into airtight container and refrigerate 4-8 hours.
To make mascarpone, add coconut yogurt and remaining maple syrup and vanilla extract to a small bowl. Stir to combine.
Remove overnight oats from fridge, and divide half the mixture between 2 glass or mason jars. Follow this with a layer of 'mascarpone', then repeat once more (so you have two layers of each in both jars).
Sift over cocoa powder, and decorate with coffee beans if desired.

Notes

Oats - Use any kind (even steel cut oats). For gluten free, use certified gluten free oats.

For sugar-free, use liquid monk fruit, stevia, or erythritol instead of maple.

Cocoa powder - You can use cocoa or cacao powder. Try carob if you're not a fan.

Chia seeds - I prefer whole chia seeds, but ground will work too.

Espresso - Espresso, freshly brewed or instant coffee works fine. Use decaf if preferred.

Coconut yoghurt - You can use any type of yoghurt for the 'mascarpone' layer, but coconut works particularly well as it's thick and creamy.

Storage - Refrigerate uneaten overnight oats in an airtight container for up to 4 days. It's best to store oat mixture and coconut yoghurt separately, as they mix if stored together.
