Overnight oats à la Den du ved nok – the classic Danish coffee and coconut cake turned into overnight oats with cocoa, coconut and coffee.
If you love Den du ved nok cake, I think you’ll love these overnight oats too. They bring together all the wonderful flavours of the classic cake in an easy, filling breakfast with cocoa, coconut and a hint of espresso.
Everything is stirred together the night before – rolled oats, chia seeds, desiccated coconut, cocoa, vanilla skyr, milk and espresso – and then left in the fridge overnight to soak and thicken. The espresso adds a pleasant depth of flavour without the coffee taking over. I use 25 ml of espresso myself, but you can easily adjust it the next day if you’d like a little more coffee flavour.
The next morning, simply give the oats a good stir; the consistency is easy to adjust with a splash more milk or skyr. Serve them as they are, or top with a little extra vanilla skyr, coconut flakes or perhaps a dusting of cocoa.
A really delicious twist on classic overnight oats that is both properly filling and feels like a bit of a breakfast treat.
