Overnight Oats Mixture

• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 1/2 cup milk (any kind: dairy or plant-based)
• 1/3 cup brewed espresso, cooled
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Combine Ingredients: In a sealable jar or shaker, add the rolled oats, milk, brewed espresso, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Make sure the espresso is cooled to avoid cooking the oats prematurely.
2. Shake Well: Seal the container tightly and shake vigorously until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is well combined, coating the oats evenly.
3. Refrigerate Overnight: Place the jar or container in the refrigerator and allow the oats to soak and absorb the flavors overnight, or for at least 6-8 hours.
4. Stir and Serve: The next morning, stir the oats to evenly distribute the creaminess and espresso flavor before serving. Optionally, add toppings like fresh fruit, nuts, or seeds for extra texture and nutrition.

Notes

• Use freshly brewed espresso for the best flavor; allow it to cool before mixing.
• Adjust sweetness by increasing or decreasing the amount of brown sugar.
• Can be made vegan by using plant-based milk such as almond or oat milk.
• For a thicker texture, reduce the milk slightly or add a tablespoon of chia seeds.
• Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days for freshness.
