Ingredients

  • ⅔ cup large flake oats
  • 2 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 cup dairy milk or 1 ⅓ cup plant-based milk
  • ⅔ cup vanilla Greek yogurt + 2-3 tbsp for topping
  • ½ tsp espresso powder
  • 2 Ladyfinger cookies
  • ¼ tsp cocoa powder for topping

Instructions

  • In a sealable jar or container, mix together the oats, chia seeds, Greek yogurt, milk and espresso powder. Stir well.
  • Set the ladyfinger cookies on top of the oat mixture but don’t mix them in or else they may get too soggy.
  • Store in the fridge for a minimum of 1 hour, ideally overnight.
  • When you’re ready to eat, add a layer of 2-3 tbsp of Greek yogurt on top and sprinkle or sift some cocoa powder over the yogurt. Enjoy!

Notes

Substitutions

  • Quick oats or rolled oats
    • If you don’t have large flake oats you can substitute quick or rolled oats instead. I recommend reducing the milk by 1-2 tbsp so that it’s not too liquidy or mushy.
  • Regular yogurt
    • Instead of Greek yogurt, you can use regular yogurt. However, this tends to be more liquidy than Greek yogurt so I recommend reducing the milk by 1-2 tbsp.
  • Alternative milks
    • If you are looking for a higher protein option, I recommend using dairy milk or soy milk. Other plant-based beverages like oat milk or almond milk will still work in this recipe but provide much less protein.
  • Fresh fruit
    • Top overnight oats with your preferred fresh fruit. Banana or raspberries would go well in this recipe.
  • Peanut butter or other nut butters
    • Add a dollop to these overnight oats for extra flavour, healthy fats and a creamy texture.
  • Maple syrup, honey or chocolate chips
    • Add any of these ingredients to increase the sweetness of this breakfast.
 
 
Gluten free: make sure you opt for gluten free oats! Unfortunately, ladyfinger cookies are not naturally gluten free but so you will have to purchase gluten free ladyfingers.
 
Vegan: choose plant-based yogurt and soy milk instead of dairy. Ladyfinger cookies contain eggs so are not vegan. Omit them in this recipe to make it vegan or use a vegan cookie (for example, Biscoff cookies) instead.
