FAQs

Can I make this recipe without chia seeds?

Yes, you can omit the chia seeds, but they help thicken the oats and add extra nutrition. If you skip them, you might want to reduce the liquid slightly.

Is it possible to use instant coffee instead of espresso?

Instant coffee can be used but the flavor will be different and less rich than using cold brew concentrate or espresso. Adjust the amount to taste.

Oats and Seeds

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds
• Pinch of salt

Sweetener

• 2 tablespoons brown sugar

Liquid Ingredients

• ¼ cup cold brew concentrate (or regular espresso)
• 1 cup unsweetened plain almond milk

Instructions

1. 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 mix the dry components evenly.
2. Add liquids: Pour the cold brew concentrate or regular espresso along with the unsweetened almond milk over the mixed dry ingredients. Stir well until all ingredients are fully combined and the oats are well soaked in the liquid.
3. Refrigerate: Cover the container securely and place it in the refrigerator. Allow the oats to soak and soften for at least 2 hours, though refrigerating overnight will yield a creamier texture.

Notes

• Use cold brew concentrate for a smoother espresso flavor; regular espresso works as an alternative.
• Adjust brown sugar quantity to taste for preferred sweetness level.
• Chia seeds help thicken the oats and add extra fiber and omega-3 fatty acids.
• Can be prepared the night before for a hassle-free morning.
• Add toppings like fresh fruit, nuts, or a splash of vanilla extract for extra flavor.
