US - Metric

Instructions

  • Mix the brewed coffee and coconut milk. Pour 1/4 cup of this mixture over the oats in a microwave safe bowl or saucepan.
  • Microwave for 1 to 2 minutes until the oats are soft and the liquid is absorbed.
    For stovetop cooking, simmer the oats over medium heat for 5 to 10 minutes until the liquid is absorbed.
  • Set aside 1/4 to 1/3 cup of the coffee mixture for topping.
  • Stir the cocoa into the cooked oats. Divide the oats into two bowls and add the chocolate chips, coconut, chia seeds, and maple syrup.
  • Drizzle the remaining coffee mixture over the bowls. Add extra coconut milk or cream if you prefer a creamier texture. Garnish with more chocolate chips and chia seeds.

Notes

  • Adjust the Texture: Add more or less liquid to reach your preferred oatmeal consistency.
  • Taste and Adjust: Check the flavor as you cook and adjust the sweetness or cocoa to suit your taste.
  • Use Fresh Coffee: Freshly brewed coffee gives the strongest mocha flavor.
  • Add Toppings: Nuts, seeds, fruit, or extra chocolate can add texture and boost flavor.
  • Serve Warm: Enjoy the oatmeal warm so the chocolate melts and the flavors blend well.
