Notes
- This recipe has been adapted from How Sweet Eats.
- Rolled oats are best for this recipe because of their chewy, hearty texture. Instant oats will be too mushy.
- If you don't have an espresso machine at home, mix in strong-brewed coffee.
- Feel free to add more coffee if you enjoy a stronger taste.
- Taste the oatmeal and add brown sugar, date syrup, or maple syrup if you want it sweeter.
