Notes
- Stir often: To avoid scorching/burning at the bottom of the pan.
- Be careful not to overcook it: Otherwise, oatmeal can become mushy and lackluster.
- Adjust the coffee-to-plant milk ratio: If you find it too weak/strong the first time, adjust the ratio next time.
- For coffee overnight oats: Reduce the overall liquid to ¾ cup, optionally add 1 tbsp chia seeds (for thickening), and simply mix all the ingredients and leave them to soak and thicken overnight in the fridge.
