Ingredients

• 1 1/2 teaspoons brown sugar, packed
• 1/2 teaspoon espresso powder
• 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 cup oat milk
• 1/3 cup old fashioned oats
• 1/2 teaspoon chia seeds

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the brown sugar, espresso powder, and cinnamon. Add the oat milk, seal the jar tightly, and shake well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
2. Step 2: Remove the lid and add the oats and chia seeds. Replace the lid and shake again until the mixture is evenly combined. Place the jar in the refrigerator overnight to let the oats soak and flavors meld.

Tips & Variations

• For a creamier texture, use full-fat oat milk or substitute with almond or cow’s milk.
• Add a handful of nuts or berries in the morning for added texture and flavor.
• If you prefer a stronger coffee flavor, increase the espresso powder slightly.
• Use steel-cut oats for a chewier texture, but soak longer to soften.

Storage

Store your overnight oats in a sealed jar or container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Stir well before eating, and enjoy cold or warmed briefly in the microwave if preferred.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use regular coffee instead of espresso powder?

Espresso powder dissolves better and gives a more concentrated coffee flavor. If using regular coffee, use very strong brewed coffee and reduce the liquid added to keep the texture right.

Are chia seeds necessary in this recipe?

Chia seeds help thicken the oats and add nutrition, but you can omit them if you don’t have any on hand. The oats will still soak up the liquid and taste great.

• Adjust sweetness by adding more or less brown sugar according to taste.
• Use any plant-based milk if oat milk is unavailable.
