Perfect for busy mornings, these oats are prepared the night before and require no cooking, delivering a creamy and satisfying start to your day.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • Pinch of salt

Wet 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 these ingredients together to ensure even distribution of flavors and textures.
  2. Add Liquids: Pour the espresso or cold brew concentrate and the unsweetened almond milk over the oat mixture. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.
  3. Refrigerate: Cover the container and place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours, allowing the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and soften. For best texture, refrigerate overnight.
  4. Serve: Before serving, you may add additional almond milk to adjust the consistency if desired, or enjoy the oats as they are straight from the fridge.

Notes

  • Using cold brew concentrate or espresso adds a robust coffee flavor but can be substituted with regular brewed espresso or strong coffee if preferred.
  • Chia seeds help thicken the oats and add nutritional value, but they can be omitted or replaced with flaxseeds if desired.
  • For a sweeter option, increase the brown sugar or add natural sweeteners like honey or maple syrup.
  • This recipe is best prepared the night before to ensure the oats absorb the liquid properly.
  • Can be customized with toppings such as fresh fruit, nuts, or a dollop of yogurt for added texture and flavor.
  • Almond milk can be substituted with any other plant-based or dairy milk according to dietary preferences.
