Scale
Base
- 1/2 cup freshly brewed coffee (strong; cooled to room temp)
- 1/2 cup rolled oats (old‑fashioned)
- 2 tbsp oat milk (or other plant milk)
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tbsp sweetener (honey, agave, or maple syrup)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/8 tsp salt (pinch)
Optional toppings
- fresh fruit, cocoa powder, yogurt, or whipped cream (to serve)
Instructions
- Combine: In an 8–12 oz jar, add coffee, rolled oats, oat milk, chia seeds, sweetener, vanilla, and salt. (Add 1 tsp cocoa for mocha, optional.)
- Shake: Seal and shake 10–15 seconds until chia is evenly dispersed and no dry pockets remain.
- Chill: Refrigerate at least 2 hours, preferably overnight (up to 12 hours) until thick and creamy.
- Serve: Stir, then top with fruit or a dollop of yogurt. Enjoy cold or gently warm if preferred.
Notes
Texture tweaks: For thicker oats, add 1–2 tsp extra chia; for looser, splash in more oat milk before serving. Meal prep: Scales well—multiply directly in separate jars. Use decaf if avoiding caffeine.
