FAQs
Can I use regular brewed coffee instead of cold brew or espresso?
Yes, you can substitute with cooled regular brewed coffee, but cold brew or espresso will provide a stronger, richer coffee flavor.
Are chia seeds necessary in this recipe?
Chia seeds help thicken the oats and add nutrition, but you can omit them if you prefer; just expect a slightly thinner consistency.
