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

1. Step 1: Add the brown sugar, rolled oats, chia seeds, and a pinch of salt to a meal prep container. Stir the ingredients together until evenly combined.
2. Step 2: Pour the cold brew concentrate or espresso and almond milk over the oat mixture. Mix thoroughly to combine all ingredients well.
3. Step 3: Cover the container and place it in the refrigerator. Let the oats soak for at least 2 hours or up to overnight to allow the flavors to meld and the oats to soften.
4. Step 4: Before serving, you can add more almond milk to adjust the consistency if desired, or enjoy the oats as they are.

Tips & Variations

• For extra sweetness and creaminess, stir in a splash of vanilla extract or a dollop of yogurt before refrigerating.
• Swap almond milk with any other plant-based or dairy milk according to your preference.
• Add fresh berries, sliced banana, or nuts on top for added texture and flavor.

Storage

Store the overnight oats covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Before eating, give the oats a good stir and add extra almond milk if needed to loosen the texture. This breakfast is best enjoyed cold or at room temperature.

FAQs

Can I use regular brewed coffee instead of cold brew or espresso?

Yes, you can use regular brewed coffee, but it may dilute the flavor a bit. Using a concentrated espresso or cold brew gives a stronger coffee taste that balances well with the oats and brown sugar.

Can I prepare this recipe without chia seeds?

Yes, though chia seeds help thicken the oats and add a boost of nutrition. If you leave them out, your oats may be a bit looser, but the recipe will still be delicious.
