Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- Pinch of salt
Liquid Ingredients
- ¼ cup cold brew concentrate or regular espresso
- 1 cup unsweetened plain almond milk
Instructions
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a meal prep container or bowl, add the brown sugar, rolled oats, chia seeds, and a pinch of salt. Stir the ingredients together until evenly mixed.
- Add Espresso and Almond Milk: Pour the cold brew concentrate or regular espresso over the oat mixture, then add the unsweetened plain almond milk. Mix thoroughly to combine all ingredients well.
- Refrigerate to Set: Cover the container and place it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight, allowing the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken.

Notes
- Use cold brew concentrate for a smoother, less acidic coffee flavor or regular espresso for a stronger taste.
- Chia seeds help thicken the oats and add extra fiber and nutrients.
- This recipe is easily customizable with toppings like fresh fruit, nuts, or a drizzle of almond butter.
- Make it vegan and dairy-free by using plant-based milk such as almond milk.
- For a sweeter variation, adjust brown sugar quantity or add a natural sweetener of choice.
