Here’s a recipe for a delicious and energizing breakfast dish called “Coffee Oats” that combines the goodness of organic rolled oats with the rich flavor of freshly brewed coffee:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup organic rolled oats
- 1 ½ cups freshly brewed strong coffee, cooled
- 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup or honey (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Optional toppings: chopped nuts, sliced bananas, berries, coconut flakes, or a drizzle of additional maple syrup; the sky is the limit to your imagination.
Instructions:
- Combine the organic rolled oats and freshly brewed coffee in a mixing bowl. Stir well to ensure all the oats are moistened. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes to allow the oats to absorb the coffee flavor.
- Heat the milk over medium heat in a small saucepan until it’s warm but not boiling.
- Add the warm milk, pure maple syrup or honey, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the oats and coffee mixture. Stir to combine.
- Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator. Let the mixture sit overnight or for at least 4-6 hours. This allows the oats to soften and absorb the flavors.
- The next morning, give the coffee oats a good stir. If the mixture seems too thick, add a splash of milk to reach your desired consistency.
- Divide the coffee oats into serving bowls. Top with your favorite toppings such as chopped nuts, sliced bananas, berries, coconut flakes, or a drizzle of additional maple syrup.
- Enjoy your nutritious and flavorful Coffee Oats for a hearty and caffeinated breakfast!
