The other day, I was inspired to make oatmeal using freshly brewed coffee instead of hot water or milk. Add about a half cup (or more, depending on whether you like your oatmeal thick or soupy) and add coffee creamer and sugar/Splenda to taste. You don't need to microwave it, just stir after you add coffee to the oats. And there you go! Your whole breakfast in a bowl: tasty, caffeinated oatmeal.
Disclaimer: I'm not sure any of you would actually like this (though I genuinely do!). In part I just want to encourage creativity with oatmeal. It's a terrific vessel for lots of things--fruit, granola, peanut butter...
Also, I've only tried it with instant oats, not regular, but I assume it would still work with the regular kind.
I've done the same thing with plain yogurt. You add freshly brewed coffee to Greek yogurt with some splenda and stir. Yummy!
ReplyDeleteHi! I made oatmeal with coffee this summer when we were out of soy milk. It was OK but I prefer to get my coffee in the cup!
