Sam's Kitchen Favorites

• For this recipe, I used these 16 ounce overnight oat jars with lids.

• I love these silicone mixing spoons. No more scraping the bowl, and the food doesn't stick to them!

• My go-to angled liquid measuring cup . After multiple runs through the dishwasher, the numbers have not worn off.

• For permanently engraved measurements, these measuring cups are fantastic!

• For a more professional yet affordable mixing bowl, these stackable bowls with measurements marks work perfectly.

• Food Processor. I recommend this for quickly turning graham crackers into fine crumbs, chopping nuts, blending ingredients, making sauces, and so much more.

• Acacia Wood Cutting Board. I use this board in many of my recipe photos to display my overnight oats. I love the warm wood finish because it creates a simple, natural background that helps the jars and layers of oats stand out. It’s also reversible and can be used as a cutting board, charcuterie board, or serving board, making it a versatile piece to have in your kitchen.

Helpful Tips

• Use cooled coffee. Make sure the coffee is completely cooled before mixing it into the oats so it does not affect the texture of the other ingredients.

• Adjust the coffee flavor. Use a little more or less coffee depending on how strong you want the coffee flavor to be. You can also replace some of the coffee with milk for a milder flavor.

• Use a ripe banana: A ripe banana will mash more easily and provide more natural sweetness and banana flavor.

• Adjust the caramel layer to taste. Add more or less salted caramel spread depending on how strong you want the caramel flavor.

• Dairy-free option: Use Silk yogurt , or make a homemade jam instead of a yogurt layer.

• What type of oats are best? I prefer rolled oats, but quick oats may be used as well for a softer consistency. Avoid using steel-cut oats, they will remain firm and chewy without cooking.
