These Copycat Starbucksu003cstrongu003e Iced Brown Sugar Oat Milk Shakes Espressou003c/strongu003e are so simple to make in your kitchen and are the morning kick you didn’t know you needed!
What you need: Simple ingredients
- Rolled oats: Feel free to use rolled or quick-cooking oats. I prefer rolled oats for a chewier, richer texture that stays beautifully all night.
- Brown sugar: It tastes just like a Starbucks drink with a warm, caramel-like sweetness. A little goes a long way!
- Chia Seeds: A classic overnight oats ingredient! It soaks up liquid overnight, creating a thick, pudding-like texture and adding fiber, protein, and healthy fats.
- Almond Milk: I use unsweetened almond milk as my base liquid, but any milk will work. Oat milk, coconut milk, and regular dairy milk are all great substitutes.
- espresso: I use espresso concentrate (Chameleon is my favorite!), but fresh espresso, cold brew concentrate, and strong coffee all work great.
Quick-cooking oats definitely work in this recipe. It just gives it a softer, smoother texture. I do not recommend using steel cut oats. Because it doesn’t get soft enough overnight. Check out our guide on how to make oatmeal to learn more about the differences.
entirely! Any milk will work here. Oat milk gives it a creamier, Starbucks-esque feel, coconut milk adds a bit of tropical flavor, and regular dairy milk works perfectly too.
