What is a dirty chai?

It’s when you use brewed espresso or coffee instead of tea in a chai drink which is exactly what we’ve done here.

How do you make a dirty chai breakfast bowl?

First we start by adding our quick oats to a pot with coconut milk. Next pour half the espresso brew along with your spices. Keep stirring to make sure the oats don’t stick to the bottom and burn, this should only take about 3 minutes. Once the oats are ready, transfer to a serving bowl and top with your favorite breakfast bowl toppings like Greek yogurt, nut butter, sliced bananas, shaved coconut and chocolate shavings.

If you’re a fan of chai latte than we strongly recommend giving this recipe a try!
