This overnight oatmeal recipe only requires 5 simple and healthy ingredients to make and this breakfast that will have you full all morning long.
What’s better than a big bowl of oatmeal and a latte? NOTHING.
I am deeply in love with this Coconut Latte Overnight Oatmeal recipe. It’s made with 5 total ingredients that are all gluten-free and good for you. There are two secret ingredients in this overnight oat recipe that makes it a coconut latte: 1. coconut milk and 2. brewed coffee! Mix the two together and you get a coconut latte. Get in my belly.
Here’s what you need:
- Rolled oats
- Lite coconut milk
- Brewed coffee
- Maple syrup
- Ground cinnamon
We topped our oats with some coconut whipped cream. We love THIS recipe by Minimalist Baker, but you can also make a simpler and healthier coconut whip cream by whipping the solid part of full-fat coconut milk with some maple syrup.

I’m sure you’re dying to know fact #5.
Fact #5: I have depression.
Not sure why I’ve never talked about this topic on FFF but…I have depression! Why do I say it with such excitement? Well- I’ve got it under control and I really don’t let it define me. Way back when during my ED days, I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety. Depression is a mental illness and as you know, can be difficult to control. Eating disorders + depression + anxiety all sort of go hand in hand became one GIANT mental illness. I get a lot of questions on how I recovered from my eating disorder and while a lot of it was due to changes in my lifestyle…I am also on an antidepressant, which has helped monitor my hormone levels. I’m not going to lie, taking that first pill was one of the scariest days of my life. I remember sitting in my room holding the bottle in my hand just bawling. I didn’t want to be that crazy person who had to rely on drugs her whole life. Well people, I got over that quickly because they really did help bring my anxiety level down and chill me the eff out.
The fact that I have depression is really no surprise. I have a family history of it, and even suffered from it a bit as a kid. One day I hope to ween myself off of my meds, but for now, lots of things in life are a-changing and my stress levels are high. Keeping things how they are are just fine for me at the moment. Plus- I am who I am who I am…not because of the meds i take 😉

I made these last night and DEVOURED them this morning! I had never made overnight oats before, but have decided I would like to attempt being healthier when it comes to breakfast, and these did NOT disappoint! I used Saigon cinnamon and feel like that was the dominant flavor, but everything blended together really well. Making these again tonight so I can do it all again tomorrow. Thanks for an amazing recipe!
Delicious and very very filling – could serve 3 ppl.
Delicious!!! And i agree that overnight oats is the best way to start a day! Thank you for the article
Ok, so I am one of ‘those ppl’ who tweak a recipe right off the bat. That said, yours inspired me and WOWZA, awesomeness! I eat overnight soaked buckwheat groats every day. I love their ‘al dente’ texture and nutty flavour. My ‘go to’ has been groats + water + mashed banana + cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, salt. Top with berries and toasted nuts. Yum! Well same recipe except changed out the liquid after reading yours. Did 2/1 liquid to groats. Liquid was half espresso and half this unsweetened coconut cream/almondmilk I like. Did I say WOWZA??? WOWZA!!!! I swear it tastes like chocolate! It is so dang great. THANK YOU!!! xoxo
Love this!!
When you say “lite coconut milk”, is that the stuff in the can or coconut milk in a cardboard container in the refrigerated section?
The stuff in the can! There is full fat and lite in the can…get the lite!
I’m so sorry for the dumb question but what do you mean by the “+ 1 T” in the ingredients ?
Exemple : “¼ cup + 1T brewed coffee”. Do I add one Teaspoon ?? What is 1 T
Ingredients
1 cup rolled oats
¼ cup coconut water*
¼ cup + 1T brewed coffee
¼ cup + 1 T almond milk (I used Almond Breeze 60 calorie)
1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey**
1 tablespoon coconut cream*
dash of cinnamon
Can’t wait to try it.
That’s 1 tablespoon. 🙂
Making this recipe tonight to have for breakfast tomorrow, I will let you know how I feel about it in the morning haha
I’ve never had overnight oats before but I made the coconut latte ones last night and just had it for breakfast….delicious, I’m converted!! Great recipe, thank you!
YES!!!!!!! They taste like dessert 🙂
Thank you for the nutrition breakdown, however I don’t see how many servings is made from the recipie, can you please clarify. Thanks
Hey Katie! So sorry about that. This recipe is 2 servings. Just updated the recipe.
No worries, thanks Lee. Will be making this tomorrow! Can’t wait!
How many servings does this make? Thanks.
Hi Lee,
I was wondering if it would work to zap the oats a bit in the morning if one wanted a warm treat? So glad I found your blog.
Hi Laurie! Of course you can do that! It’s all about personal preference 🙂
So delicious Lee! I am an all things coconut and coffee lover and I cannot wait to try this! I agree on the full fat coconut milk — makes you feel fuller longer. 🙂
Could you image a day without coffee?! #HORROR
Lee, I’ve not been following the week of overnight oats because I’m not a big breakfast person, but the coconut and latte got me. It sounds delicious and I might actually try this! Also, thank you for sharing that you also suffer from depression. I do as well and try very hard to keep upbeat. Honestly, some of the most upbeat people you know suffer(ed) from depression (ie Robin Williams). We do our best to keep thinks light and keep moving forward. It helps us to get through another day. Hugs to you!!
Aw thanks for this comment…it really is crazy when the most amazing/positive people come out and share that they suffer from mental healthy. I wish it was more widely talked about, but most people want to keep their problems on the DL. I shall tell alllll 😀
Your take on depression was shocking to me because you’re always smiling! Looks can be deceiving 🙂
But hang in there, Lee. Just know that there are so many including myself who look up to you and recognize how amazing you are!
Awww geeee I’m blushing. I do have depression, but at this point it’s 100% under control!
So much <3 for LeeLee <3 <3 <3
Depression is so terrible but I'm happy I went through it because it's showed me how wonderful life really is. Life that would be even more wonderful with dis recipe in my fridge.
PS I finally made coconut cream!!!!! It's love.
<3 I feel like people who go through it and are able to manage it totally have a different perspective on life.
I love this little series of oats + getting to know you! I completely admire you for sharing your journey and struggles, and I really LOVE your attitude about your depression and that you don’t let it define you. And, of course, your recipes are fabulous 🙂
