Equipment
- 7 oz jars *I love using these jars but you can use any container you like!

Ingredients
- ½ cup whole grain rolled oats *see note below
- 2 teaspoons chia seeds *or ground flax seed
- 2 teaspoons hemp hearts *optional but SO delicious
- 1 teaspoon espresso powder *see note below
- Pinch of sea salt *or regular table salt
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract *or imitation

- ½ cup unsweetened oat milk *or milk of choice
Optional toppings:
- Whipped cream, more espresso powder, cinnamon, extra hemp hearts, granola, fruit, nuts, etc.
Recipe notes:
Oats: Quick oats will also work though I prefer the taste of whole grain. Espresso powder: I use Medaglia D Oro Instant Espresso. Get it on Amazon or at large grocery chains like Target and Walmart. There are many other tasty brands of instant espresso powder on the market. Espresso powder substitutes: Sub fresh brewed espresso! I recommend reducing milk a bit when using fresh espresso to keep wet and dry ingredient ratios correct. You can also use half cold brew and half milk or half brewed coffee and half milk. For best taste, I recommend espresso powder or a shot of fresh brewed espresso.Instructions
- Add dry ingredients to a jar or bowl and whisk well.½ cup whole grain rolled oats, 2 teaspoons chia seeds, 2 teaspoons hemp hearts, 1 teaspoon espresso powder, Pinch of sea salt
- Add wet ingredients and mix again until well combined.1 Tablespoon pure maple syrup, ½ cup unsweetened oat milk, ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Cover and chill/soak in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. Add desired toppings and enjoy!
Storage:
- You can store overnight oats in a mason jar or airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, though I personally feel the flavor is better within the first 3 days!
