Mocha Raspberry Overnight oats – vegan, dairy free and gluten free if you buy the right oats?
Ingredients: 1 cup oats; ½ cup milk of choice (I like almond or cashew); ½ cup cold-brew coffee (you can make your own or buy it in concentrate form at most grocery stores. If you buy the concentrate, be sure to dilute); 2 tablespoon raw cacao powder ; 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; Pinch of salt ; 1 tablespoon sweetener of choice (maple syrup, rice malt syrup and honey all work well) ; ½ cup of fresh raspberries.
Mix together all ingredients except for raspberries in a mason jar. Put in fridge and let set 12 hours, or overnight. In the morning, layer in raspberries parfait style and enjoy!
