Equipment
- 12–16 oz glass jar or container
Ingredients
Oat Base
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup milk of choice dairy or unsweetened almond/oat milk
- 2 tbsp strong brewed espresso or coffee cooled
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey adjust to taste
- pinch of salt
Cream Layer
- 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt 2% or whole
- 1 tbsp mascarpone or cream cheese optional but recommended
- 1 tsp maple syrup
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
Toppings
- 1 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder for dusting
- optional dark chocolate shavings or cacao nibs
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk Greek yogurt, mascarpone, 1 tsp maple syrup, and 1/4 tsp vanilla until smooth. Set aside.
- In a separate container, mix oats, milk, espresso, remaining vanilla, chia seeds, remaining maple syrup, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to avoid chia clumps.
- Spoon half the oat mixture into your jar. Sift cocoa powder over it. Add half the cream layer.
- Repeat layering with the remaining oats and cream.
- Finish with a dusting of cocoa powder. Add optional chocolate shavings or cacao nibs.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
- Serve cold straight from the jar or let sit at room temp for 10 minutes before eating.
Notes
Customize it to your liking: add protein powder for a boost, use dairy-free yogurt and milk alternatives, or make it more indulgent with ladyfinger chunks. Store in the fridge for up to 4 days.
