Easy Coffee Oatmeal
Description
This oatmeal recipe integrates brewed coffee into the cooking liquid alongside plant-based milk, creating a subtle coffee taste throughout the oats. Rolled oats are cooked gently over medium-low heat to avoid scorching, and sweetened with sugar or maple syrup as desired. Cooking for about 5 minutes allows the oats to soften while maintaining texture.
After cooking, the porridge is allowed to sit briefly to thicken and meld flavors. If the mixture is too thick, additional coffee can be stirred in to loosen it. Optional toppings like fresh fruit and coconut flakes add complementary freshness and crunch.
The oatmeal can be eaten warm, at room temperature, or chilled, offering versatility for different preferences and times of day. Adjusting the coffee-to-milk ratio allows customization of the coffee strength.
For an overnight version, reduce total liquid and add chia seeds to thicken when soaked. Frequent stirring during cooking prevents burning and promotes even texture.
Ingredients
- ½ cup rolled oats old fashioned
- ½ cup plant-based milk
- ½ cup brewed coffee
- 1 tablespoon sugar or maple syrup
- Fresh fruit optional
- coconut flakes optional
Instructions
- Add the oats, vegan milk, coffee, and sugar to a small saucepan.
- Bring to a low boil and cook for 5 minutes over medium low heat. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- Turn off the heat and add more coffee if it is too thick or to achieve the desired consistency. Let it sit undisturbed for 5 minutes.
- Serve and garnish with fresh fruit and coconut flakes if using.
- Enjoy warm, at room temperature, or cold.
Notes
- Stir the oatmeal frequently to avoid burning or scorching on the pan bottom.
- Monitor cooking time carefully; overcooking can lead to a mushy texture.
- Adjust coffee-to-plant-milk ratio to achieve preferred strength of coffee flavor.
- For overnight oats, reduce liquid to ¾ cup, optionally add 1 tablespoon chia seeds, and soak overnight in the refrigerator.
