What You Need – Simple Ingredients

  • Rolled Oats – feel free to use either rolled oats or quick-cooking. I prefer the texture of rolled oats, though.
  • Brown Sugar – brown sugar is used as the sweetener.
  • Chia Seeds – chia seeds are a classic overnight oats ingredient. They add volume and healthy fats.
  • Almond Milk – almond milk is used as the main liquid in this recipe.
  • Espresso – I use an espresso concentrate (Chameleon is my favorite!), but you’re more than welcome to use freshly brewed espresso. cold brew concentrate, or strong coffee.
  • Almond Milk – I use unsweetened almond milk in this recipe, but any kind of milk works.

Can I use quick-cooking oats instead?

Quick-cooking oats definitely work for this recipe. I don’t recommend using steel-cut oats, however.

Can I use a different kind of milk?

Any kind of milk works for this recipe.

Sweetener swaps

Looking to use a different sweetener? Go for it! Try swapping any of the following 1:1:
