Ingredients
Oats and Seeds
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 4 tablespoons chia seeds
Sweeteners and Dairy
- 4 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 cup vanilla Greek yogurt
- 1½ cups milk
Liquids and Seasoning
- ½ cup cold brew concentrate (or regular espresso, cooled)
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, add the rolled oats, chia seeds, brown sugar, a pinch of salt, vanilla Greek yogurt, cold brew concentrate, and milk. Stir everything together thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined and evenly mixed.
- Refrigerate to Set: Cover the bowl tightly with a lid or plastic wrap, then place it in the refrigerator. Let the mixture rest for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight. This soaking process allows the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquids and soften to a creamy consistency.
- Serve and Enjoy: When ready to eat, give the oats a good stir, then top with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, nuts, or seeds for added texture and flavor. Serve chilled and enjoy a healthy, coffee-flavored breakfast.
Notes
- You can substitute cold brew concentrate with regular cooled espresso or strong brewed coffee.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less brown sugar according to your taste preference.
- Use any type of milk you prefer, including dairy-free alternatives like almond or oat milk.
- Overnight oats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, making them perfect for meal prep.
- For added crunch, sprinkle nuts or granola just before serving to maintain texture.
