Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- ½ cup oats
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tsp instant coffee
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
- pinch salt
- 1 cup soy milk
Topping
- ½ cup Greek yogurt
- Dusting cacao powder (½ tsp)
- Dusting cinnamon (½ tsp)
Instructions
- Mix dry ingredients: In a bowl fitted with a lid, combine oats, chia seeds, instant coffee, cocoa powder, vanilla bean paste, and a pinch of salt. Stir them well to evenly distribute all the dry components.
- Add soy milk: Pour 1 cup of soy milk over the oat mixture and stir thoroughly. Cover the bowl with the lid and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight to allow the oats and chia seeds to soak and soften.
- Assemble the oats: Once the oat mixture is ready, transfer it into one or two jars or serving containers depending on whether you want to split it into two portions.
- Add Greek yogurt: Spoon ½ cup of Greek yogurt on top of the soaked oats, creating a creamy layer that complements the coffee-cocoa flavors.
- Finish with dusting: Combine ½ teaspoon each of cinnamon and cocoa powder in a fine mesh sieve. Gently tap the sieve to dust the powder mixture evenly over the yogurt layer. Refrigerate until ready to eat or enjoy immediately.
Notes
- You can prepare this recipe the night before for a convenient grab-and-go breakfast.
- Use dairy-free yogurt if you prefer a vegan version, although this will change the protein content.
- Adjust the amount of instant coffee according to your taste preference.
- For extra sweetness, consider adding a natural sweetener like stevia or a small amount of honey if your diet allows.
- The dusting both enhances flavor and adds an attractive finishing touch, but can be omitted if desired.
