Equipment

  • 2 Sealed Mason Jars

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Rolled oats
  • 1 cup Milk use milk of choice
  • 4 tablespoon Chia seeds
  • 2 tablespoon Maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoon Espresso powder adjust up to 4 teaspoon depending on desired intensity
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 1 serving Vanilla protein powder optional

Instructions

  • Add ½ cup old fashioned rolled oats each to 2 mason jars.
    1 cup Rolled oats
  • Stir in 1-2 tablespoons chia seeds and 1-2 teaspoons espresso powder (see notes for details of measurements) each into 2 mason jars. If using vanilla protein powder, also stir in ½ serving to each mason jar. Make sure to mix dry ingredients together very well.
    4 tablespoon Chia seeds, 2 teaspoon Espresso powder, 1 serving Vanilla protein powder
  • Add ½ cup milk, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 tablespoon maple syrup to each mason jar. Stir very well. If adding vanilla protein powder, you may want to add a bit more milk (1-2 tbsp) if the mixture seems too dry. Add lid and seal, then shake vigorously a couple times to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated.
    1 cup Milk, 2 tablespoon Maple syrup, 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • Refrigerate 2 jars for at least 4 hours, or overnight. When ready to enjoy, remove lid and top with desired garnish. Fresh raspberries, crushed almonds, a dollop of whipped cream or frothed milk and a couple of chocolate covered espresso beans are a nice flavorful touch.

Notes

For Chia Seeds: Adding 1 tablespoon of chia seeds will result in a more liquidy texture, and adding 2 tablespoon chia seeds will lead to a thicker texture. Adjust to your personal tastes and preferences.
For Espresso Powder: Adding 1 teaspoon results in a very mild coffee flavor, and 2 teaspoons results in a very intense espresso flavor. We recipe tested 3 quantities and found 1.5 teaspoons espresso powder to be ideal, but you can adjust to your desired intensity.
