Why not combine the two best parts of breakfast? I can’t think of a reason not to! Have you ever made your oatmeal with a little coffee before?
This Chocolate Coffee Oatmeal Bowl is seriously one of the most a delicious AND different kind of morning pick-me-ups I know you’re going to fall in love with!! The addition of a little strongly brewed coffee or espresso takes them to the next level.
Personally I can’t think of anything more tasteless than a cold cup of coffee, but trust me, you want too add it to your oats. Most everyone loves a good cup of joe in the mornings, but did you know you can also use some of that coffee to make an incredible bowl of caffinated oats?
In fact, these oats are so good I purposely make extra coffee with collagen for my oats on a regular basis. I used about 1/4 cup coffee and 3/4 cup non dairy milk. The same ratio works for baked oats too. Both methods are amazing and I can’t say one is better than the other.
For baked oats you can use the same ingredients below but you also need to add 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder. For baked oats I like to blend all my ingredients in a blender first, (except for the toppings of course).
Let me know which one you decide to make.
I mean the chocolate ‘n coffee combo ~ flipping amazing!
I am not sure what you think about on your long runs, but all I got on my mind is that first cup of dark roast coffee and a big bowl of creamy oats.
Nothing beats a bowl of warm creamy protein oats with all the toppings! The Hazelnut Coffee Dark chocolate from Hu Kitchen, the Coffee Crunch grain-free granola from Grandy Oats, and this almond butter makes this one of my new all time favorite oat bowls! Occasionally I also enjoy my oats with nice cream too.
What are your favorite oatmeal toppings?
