Brown Sugar Shaken Espresso Oats (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ For the base
01 -
1 cup rolled oats (not quick oats)
02 -
1 tablespoon chia seeds
03 -
2 tablespoons brown sugar (light or dark both work)
04 -
Pinch of salt (helps bring out the flavors)
→ For the liquid
05 -
¼ cup cold brew concentrate or regular espresso (cooled)
06 -
1 cup unsweetened plain almond milk (or milk of choice)
# Instructions:
01 -
Add the rolled oats, chia seeds, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt to a container with a lid. Stir everything together until well mixed.
02 -
Pour the cold brew concentrate (or espresso) and almond milk over the oat mixture. Stir until everything is thoroughly combined and there are no dry spots.
03 -
Cover the container with its lid and place it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight. The longer it sits, the softer and more flavorful the oats will become.
04 -
Give the oats a good stir before eating. If they seem too thick, add a splash more almond milk until you reach your desired consistency. Enjoy cold straight from the fridge!
# Notes:
01 -
These oats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, making them perfect for meal prep.
02 -
Feel free to top with banana slices, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or a drizzle of maple syrup before serving.
