Method
- Brew your espresso or strong coffee and let it cool completely. Using hot coffee will start to cook the oats, which can result in a gummy texture.
- In a medium bowl or directly in your mason jar, add the rolled oats, chia seeds, and the pinch of sea salt. Give them a quick stir to combine everything evenly.
- Pour in the cooled espresso, your milk of choice, the Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
- Using a spoon, stir everything together thoroughly until it’s completely combined. Make sure you scrape the bottom of the jar to ensure there are no dry pockets of oats.
- Seal your jar or container with a lid and place it in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours, but preferably overnight.
- The next morning, give the oats a good stir. If they seem too thick for your liking, you can add another splash of milk to loosen them up. Top with your favorite additions and enjoy.
