Got 5 minutes? Whip up these delicious Coconut Latte Overnight Oats for an easy, vegan, fiber-filled breakfast that is oh-so-delish!
This overnight oatmeal recipe only requires 5 simple and wholesome ingredients to make. It’s a healthy, make-ahead breakfast that will have you full all morning long.
We made coconut curry for dinner last night, and we had a partially used can of coconut milk. Wasting coconut milk is the worst, so we decided to make a batch of overnight oats.
I remembered absolutely loving a coconut latte at Starbucks, so decided to add in a little bit of cold brew concentrate as well. It was one of the best breakfasts I ever had. It was sweet, had great flavor, and I got a little bit of a caffeine kick, too!
These creamy overnight oats may be meal prep, but it’s SUPER easy. Just dump all your ingredients in an airtight container, give it a good stir, then cover and let it sit overnight. The next day, all you have to do is add your toppings and DEVOUR.
What’s in Coconut Latte Overnight Oats?
- Rolled oats: Also known as old-fashioned oats, this type of oats are best for overnight oats as they have a chewier texture.
- Lite coconut milk: We used light coconut milk for a lighter and healthier version that still tastes nice and creamy.
- Brewed coffee: Coffee gives this oat recipe a lovely coffee flavor and an extra energy boost.
- Maple syrup: For some natural sweetness, we used maple syrup. You can also use honey.
- Ground cinnamon: This spice adds a little warmth and depth of flavor to the oats.
Easy Swaps & Additions
You could easily use this recipe as a blueprint for any flavor of overnight oats. Below are some simple swaps and additions you could try:
Give it a protein boost: Mix in some protein powder or nut butter like almond butter or peanut butter for some extra protein.
Add more fiber: Chia seeds, flaxseeds, or hemp seeds are great sources of fiber and can be added to the oats for some extra nutritional benefits.
Change up the milk: Use full fat coconut milk instead of lite coconut milk for a richer and creamier flavor. You could also use almond milk, oat milk, or any other plant-based milk of your choice.
Topping ideas: Some of our favorite toppings for overnight oats include fresh fruit, cacao nibs, coconut flakes, and chopped nuts. Get creative and add your own favorite toppings!

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!!
