03 - 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, plain or vanilla
04 - 2 tablespoons chia seeds
05 - 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
06 - 1 vanilla bean, split and seeds scraped, or 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

07 - 1/2 cup brewed espresso or strong coffee, cooled
08 - 2 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk or plant-based alternative

→ Toppings

# Directions:

01 - In a medium bowl, combine oats, milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, maple syrup, and vanilla bean seeds or extract. Stir until well incorporated.
02 - In a separate small bowl, whisk together cooled espresso or coffee with sweetened condensed milk until combined.
03 - Divide half the oat mixture between two mason jars. Spoon half the coffee mixture over the oats in each jar. Top with remaining oat mixture and remaining coffee mixture, creating two distinct layers.
