Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 4 tablespoons chia seeds
- 4 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 pinch salt
Dairy & Liquid Ingredients
- 1 cup vanilla Greek yogurt
- ½ cup cold brew concentrate (or regular espresso, cooled)
- 1½ cups milk
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 (or cooled espresso), and milk. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined, creating a smooth oat mixture.
- Refrigerate: Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap. Place it in the refrigerator and allow the oats to soak for at least 4 hours or ideally overnight. This soaking process softens the oats and allows the flavors to meld together.
- Serve and Garnish: Once chilled and set, stir the oats gently and serve. Add your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, nuts, or seeds for added texture and flavor before enjoying your nutritious coffee-infused breakfast.
Notes
- Use cold brew concentrate for a richer coffee flavor or substitute with cooled regular espresso or strong brewed coffee.
- The oats can be soaked for as little as 4 hours, but overnight soaking yields the best texture.
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of brown sugar or using alternative sweeteners.
- For a dairy-free option, substitute Greek yogurt and milk with plant-based alternatives like coconut yogurt and almond milk.
- Adding toppings like sliced almonds, berries, or a drizzle of honey can enhance flavor and nutrition.
