This is loaded with spice and everything nice! You can make it dirty buy adding the coffee or make it just regular chai by replacing the coffee with milk of your choice.

Ingredients ~

• 2 cups quick oats

• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk

• 1/2 cup brewed coffee (cooled) or cold brew

You CAN make this recipe without coffee, just replace the coffee with equal parts of almond, coconut or regular milk! So total milk it would be 1 1/2 cups!!

Coat an 8x8 or loaf pan with coconut oil spray & bake for 30-35 min until its fully cooked! 

If you decide to make the yogurt “frosting” mix the ingredients above and spread on top!!
