Let’s make it.

What You’ll Need

  • ½ cup rolled oats
  • ½ cup cold brew coffee
  • ½ cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds (for thickness!)
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of cinnamon (optional but amazing!)

For Toppings (Optional but Delicious!):

  • A drizzle of honey or maple syrup
  • A sprinkle of cocoa powder or cinnamon
  • Crushed coffee beans for a little crunch

Pro Tips

  1. Use thick-cut oats for the best texture.
  2. Want it stronger? Use more cold brew and less milk.
  3. Like it extra sweet? Add an extra drizzle of honey or a splash of vanilla creamer.

  5. Want it extra creamy? Stir in Greek yogurt before serving.
