# What You'll Need:
→ Oats Base
01 - 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
02 - 1 cup unsweetened milk, dairy or plant-based
03 - 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
04 - 2 tablespoons chia seeds
05 - 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
06 - 1 vanilla bean, seeds scraped, or 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

→ Toppings
10 - 1/4 cup whipped cream, dairy or coconut
11 - 1 tablespoon mini dark chocolate chips or cocoa nibs, optional
12 - 2 teaspoons vanilla granola, optional
# How To Make It:
01 - In a medium bowl, combine oats, milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla bean seeds or extract, and salt. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
02 - In a small bowl or cup, whisk together cooled brewed espresso or coffee with maple syrup or honey until well combined.
03 - Divide half of the oat mixture evenly between two 12-ounce mason jars, distributing the contents to the midway point of each container.
04 - Drizzle half of the sweetened coffee mixture over the oat layer in both jars, ensuring even distribution across the surface.
05 - Layer the remaining oat mixture on top of the coffee layer in both jars, then finish by drizzling the remaining coffee mixture over the top.
06 - Seal the jars with lids and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight, allowing the oats to fully hydrate and flavors to meld together.
07 - Remove jars from refrigerator and top each with whipped cream, chocolate chips or cocoa nibs, and vanilla granola if desired. Serve cold without stirring to maintain distinct layers.
