Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- ½ cup oats
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tsp instant coffee
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup soy milk
- ½ cup Greek yogurt
Topping
- Dusting cacao powder
- Dusting cinnamon powder
Instructions
- Mix dry ingredients: In a bowl fitted with a lid, combine oats, chia seeds, instant coffee, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir these together thoroughly to distribute all ingredients evenly.
- Add soy milk: Pour 1 cup of soy milk over the oat mixture. Stir well to combine all components into a smooth, consistent mixture that allows the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid evenly.
- Refrigerate: Cover the bowl with its lid and place it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, to let the oats soften and flavors meld together.
- Assemble portions: Once the oats have absorbed the liquid and are ready, transfer the mixture into one or two jars or bowls for serving.
- Layer Greek yogurt: Spoon ½ cup of Greek yogurt evenly over the top of the soaked oats to add creaminess and protein.
- Dust toppings: Mix ½ teaspoon each of cinnamon and cocoa powder and sprinkle evenly over the yogurt using a fine mesh sieve for an appealing finish.
- Serve: You can enjoy immediately or chill in the refrigerator until ready to eat for a refreshing and wholesome breakfast or snack.
