Ingredients
Scale
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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Serve: Before serving, you can add a little more almond milk to adjust the consistency if desired, or enjoy the oats as-is straight from the fridge.
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.
