Hi Greg! Yes—you can use steel-cut oats in any of our overnight oats recipes! You’ll need to increase the amount of liquid in the recipe by 1/4 cup, and the finished oats will be chewier. They’ll be just as delicious, as long as you’re okay with the texture!

You should be able to find instant espresso right in the regular grocery store. If yours doesn’t carry it, you can always pick some up at your local Starbucks or online.

Also where do I find Instant Espresso Powder at?

Hi Ziaheart! We’ve never had any issues heating these, even with the yogurt. Yogurt can separate when heated too high, so you have to be careful when using it in a sauce. But for something like this, the relatively small amount of yogurt and the gentle heat mean you shouldn’t have any issues!

Thanks, Maggie! Before you buy jars just for this recipe, think about the containers you already have in the house. Anything with a well-fitting lid will work. I like making our Chocolate Peanut Butter Overnight Oats in our empty peanut butter jars. Bonus: it also makes them easier to clean before recycling them! I’ve also used take out containers and deli meat containers, too. Of course, if you’re looking for an excuse to buy more jars, don’t let me stop you! You’ll find all kinds of uses for them—they’re worth the investment =)

Hi, Vanessa! Since they don’t have any fruit in them, these Mocha Overnight Oats can easily chill in the fridge for up to a week. We like to make up a week’s worth as part of our meal prep on the weekend and then have easy grab-and-go breakfasts all week!

Thanks so much, Suzanne! =)
