Ingredients
Scale
Oats Mixture
- 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: Add the brown sugar, rolled oats, chia seeds, and a pinch of salt into a meal prep container and stir to combine everything evenly.
- Add liquids: Pour the cold brew concentrate or espresso and the unsweetened almond milk over the oats mixture, then mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Refrigerate overnight: Cover the container and place it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, though letting it soak overnight is ideal to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and flavors.
- Serve: Before eating, you may add a splash more almond milk if you prefer a creamier texture or enjoy as-is straight from the fridge.
Notes
- You can substitute cold brew concentrate with regular espresso or strong brewed coffee for a similar flavor.
- Use any plant-based or dairy milk as preferred; almond milk keeps it light and dairy-free.
- For added texture and flavor, consider topping with fresh fruits, nuts, or a sprinkle of cinnamon before serving.
- Chia seeds help thicken the mixture and add a boost of fiber and omega-3 fats.
