Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a jar or airtight container, add rolled oats, milk, brewed cooled coffee, yogurt, caramel sauce, vanilla extract, chia seeds, and a pinch of salt.
- Mix Well: Stir all the ingredients thoroughly until everything is well combined, ensuring the chia seeds are evenly distributed.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Seal the container tightly and refrigerate the mixture for at least 6 hours or preferably overnight to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquids and flavors.
- Stir in the Morning: After refrigeration, stir the oats well. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash of milk to loosen the consistency.
