Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 4 tablespoons chia seeds
- 4 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 pinch salt
Dairy
- 1 cup vanilla Greek yogurt
- 1½ cups milk
Liquid
- ½ cup cold brew concentrate (or regular espresso, cooled)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, add rolled oats, chia seeds, brown sugar, salt, vanilla Greek yogurt, cold brew concentrate, and milk. Stir well until all the ingredients are thoroughly mixed and combined.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator. Allow the mixture to chill for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, so the oats and chia seeds can absorb the liquid and soften.
- Serve and Garnish: When ready to eat, remove the oats from the refrigerator and give a quick stir. Add your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, nuts, or seeds to enhance flavor and texture before serving.
Notes
- Use cold brew concentrate for a stronger coffee flavor or regular cooled espresso as an alternative.
- You can substitute milk with any plant-based milk to make it dairy-free.
- Adjust the amount of brown sugar based on your preferred sweetness level.
- Overnight oats can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For added texture, sprinkle nuts or granola on top just before serving.
