Ingredients

  • ½ to ⅓ cup brewed coffee (120 to 180 ml)
  • ½ to ⅓ cup drinking coconut milk or almond milk, plus more for topping (120 to 180 ml)
  • 1 cup gluten-free rolled oats (80 g)
  • cup unsweetened cocoa powder, plus extra for topping (40 g)
  • cup dark chocolate chips, plus more for topping (60 g)
  • ½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut (40 g)
  • ¼ cup black chia seed or flaxseed, plus more for topping (40 g)
  • Maple syrup, optional

Instructions

  • Combine Coffee and Milk: Start by mixing the brewed coffee with coconut milk. Then, pour 1/4 cup of this mixture over the oats, which you can place either in a microwave-safe bowl or a saucepan.
  • Cook the Oats: If using a microwave, cook the oats and coffee mixture for about 1 to 2 minutes. If cooking on a stovetop, set the heat to medium and let the oats simmer for 5 to 10 minutes, or until all the liquid has been absorbed.
  • Reserve Coffee Mixture for Topping: Save an additional 1/4 to 1/3 cup of the coffee mixture to use as a topping later.
  • Add Cocoa and Toppings: After the oats are cooked, stir in the cocoa. Then, divide the oats into two bowls. Sprinkle in the chocolate chips, coconut, chia seeds, and maple syrup as desired.
  • Final Touches: Drizzle the remaining coffee mixture over the oatmeal. For an extra creamy texture, feel free to add more coconut milk or cream. Finally, garnish with additional dark chocolate chips and chia seeds for extra flavor and crunch.

Notes

  • Perfect Consistency: Cook your oats to your preferred thickness by adjusting the liquid.
  • Balance Flavors: Taste as you go and adjust the sweetness and chocolate intensity.
  • Fresh Brew: Use freshly brewed coffee for the best flavor.
  • Toppings: Get creative with toppings for added texture and taste.
  • Serve Warm: Always serve this oatmeal warm for maximum enjoyment.
