Brew the Coffee: Start by brewing a strong cup of coffee. Let it cool down to room temperature while you gather your ingredients. You can use leftover coffee from your morning brew to reduce waste.

Combine Oats and Chia Seeds: In a medium bowl or jar, mix the rolled oats and chia seeds. The chia seeds will help thicken the oats and add an extra boost of fiber and omega-3s.

Mix Wet Ingredients: Pour the cooled coffee, milk of choice, maple syrup or honey, and vanilla extract into the oats mixture. Stir everything well until combined.

Add Greek Yogurt (Optional): If you want creamier oats, stir in a dollop of Greek yogurt or your favorite plant-based yogurt. This will add a rich, tangy flavor and an extra dose of protein.

Chill Overnight: Cover the bowl or jar and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, but ideally overnight. The oats will absorb the liquid, and the flavors will meld together.

Top and Serve: In the morning, give your oats a good stir and add your favorite toppings. For an indulgent twist, add a sprinkle of cocoa powder, some chocolate chips, or a drizzle of nut butter.
