Ingredients

• ½ cup rolled oats
• ½ cup cold brew coffee (strong)
• ½ cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
• 1 tbsp chia seeds
• 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey
• ½ tsp vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt
• Optional toppings: chocolate chips, nuts, banana slices

Ingredient Notes

• Rolled oats: Use old-fashioned oats, not instant or steel-cut. They soften perfectly overnight.
• Cold brew coffee: Brew it strong or use store-bought. Avoid hot coffee—it makes the oats mushy.
• Milk: Any milk works. Almond or oat milk keeps it dairy-free.
• Chia seeds: They thicken the oats. Skip if you don’t have any, but the texture won’t be as creamy.
• Sweetener: Adjust to taste. Brown sugar works too.
