Instructions
- Make ¼ cup of espresso or strong coffee and let it cool.
- In a mason jar, add rolled oats, milk, chia seeds, vanilla extract, maple syrup, and the cooled espresso. Stir well.
- Stir in 1 tbsp caramel sauce and a pinch of sea salt for a rich, sweet flavor.
- Cover the jar and refrigerate overnight (or at least 4 hours) to let the oats soak.
- Add a little more milk to the oats in the morning if you need to.
- Drizzle with extra caramel, sprinkle cinnamon, and enjoy!
Tips & Variations
- For a smoother taste, use cold brew.

- For a protein boost, mix in a scoop of vanilla protein powder.
- Make it dairy-free by using almond, oat, or coconut milk.
- Let the oats sit overnight for the best flavor!
- No espresso? Make cold brew or extra-strong coffee.
- No chia seeds? You can either switch to flaxseeds or cut back on the milk a little bit.
- Want a mocha twist? Add 1 teaspoon of cocoa powder to the oats.
- You can keep it in the fridge for up to three days.
