Ingredients
  

  • For the oats:
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup milk any milk you love — almond, oat, regular
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt or any thick yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds optional, but makes it extra creamy
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar adjust to your taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • For the shaken espresso:
  • 1 shot of brewed espresso or strong coffee if you don’t have espresso
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 4 –5 ice cubes
  • Toppings optional but amazing:
  • Extra brown sugar sprinkle
  • Sliced bananas
  • Chopped nuts
  • A dollop of whipped cream
  • A dusting of cinnamon

Instructions
 

  • Step 1: Make the overnight oats base
  • In a jar or bowl, stir together the oats, milk, yogurt, chia seeds (if using), brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well until everything is combined. Cover and place in the fridge overnight, or for at least 6 hours.
  • Step 2: Brew your espresso
  • In the morning (or right before eating), brew one strong shot of espresso. If you don’t have an espresso machine, you can use a really strong instant coffee or even cold brew concentrate.
  • Step 3: Shake the espresso
  • Add the hot espresso, brown sugar, and ice cubes to a jar with a lid (or a shaker if you have one). Shake hard for about 30 seconds. The ice cools down the coffee fast and makes it a little frothy.
  • Step 4: Assemble your oats
  • Take your jar of overnight oats out of the fridge. Give it a good stir. Then, pour the brown sugar shaken espresso right over the top. You can leave it layered like that or stir it all together. It’s up to you!
  • Step 5: Add toppings and enjoy
  • Top with banana slices, a sprinkle of brown sugar, some nuts, or even a little whipped cream if you’re feeling fancy. Grab a spoon and dive in!
