Ingredients
1 cup rolled oats
1 cup strong brewed coffee
1 cup milk (or non-dairy milk)
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional toppings: chopped nuts, chocolate shavings, or a drizzle of maple syrup
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, brewed coffee, milk, brown sugar, and salt.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.
Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the oatmeal is thick and creamy.
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Spoon into bowls and add desired toppings.
Tips
For a stronger coffee flavor, use espresso or reduce the milk by 1/4 cup and replace with additional coffee.
To make ahead, prepare the oatmeal without toppings, let cool, and refrigerate. Reheat with a splash of milk.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
