Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- Pinch of salt
- ¼ cup cold brew concentrate (or regular espresso)
- 1 cup unsweetened plain almond milk
Instructions
- Combine Dry Ingredients: Add the brown sugar, rolled oats, chia seeds, and a pinch of salt to a meal prep container. Stir the ingredients thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
- Add Liquids: Pour in the cold brew concentrate or espresso along with the unsweetened almond milk. Mix until all ingredients are fully combined to create a consistent mixture.
- Refrigerate: Cover the container and place it in the refrigerator. Let the oats soak for at least 2 hours or ideally overnight to allow the flavors to meld and the oats to soften.
- Serve: Before serving, you can optionally add more almond milk if you prefer a thinner consistency. Enjoy the oats cold or at room temperature as a nutritious breakfast or snack.
Notes
- For a stronger coffee flavor, use cold brew concentrate instead of regular espresso.
- Chia seeds help thicken the oats and add a boost of omega-3 fatty acids and fiber.
- You can customize sweetness by adjusting the amount of brown sugar.
- Use a dairy-free milk alternative like almond milk to keep this recipe vegan-friendly.
- Overnight oats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
