Ingredients

  • ½ cup of old fashioned rolled oats
  • ½ cup of vegan milk
  • ½ cup of brewed coffee
  • 1 tablespoon of sugar or maple syrup
  • Fresh fruit or coconut flakes (optional)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add the oats, vegan milk, coffee, and sugar to a small saucepan.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Serve and garnish with fresh fruit and coconut flakes if using.
  5. Enjoy warm, at room temperature, or cold.

Notes

  • Stir often: To avoid scorching/burning at the bottom of the pan.
  • Be careful not to overcook it: Otherwise, oatmeal can become mushy and lackluster.
  • Adjust the coffee-to-plant milk ratio: If you find it too weak/strong the first time, adjust the ratio next time.
  • For coffee overnight oats: Reduce the overall liquid to ¾ cup, optionally add 1 tbsp chia seeds (for thickening), and simply mix all the ingredients and leave them to soak and thicken overnight in the fridge.
