Easy Coffee Oatmeal with Coffee Ice Cream makes the perfect decadent breakfast recipe. Made with milk and coffee instead of water, this bowl of oats keeps you full until lunch.
So… I just ate ice cream for breakfast. On top of a steaming bowl of oatmeal. Because this is where my oatmeal obsession is taking me. To very different tastes and flavour combos.
Oatmeal a la mode if you will. Do you think this will be a thing?
I really want to make this a thing.
If you think this is weird, I don’t blame you. I would probably think that this is super crazy too if I didn’t develop a strange obsession with having really hot food/beverages with my ice cream.
It started in high school with my tea obsession. If you knew me in high school, you would know that 99% of the time, I would be drinking tea. Me and my brother were obsessed. When one pot of tea was done, we would brew a new one. We even started brewing tea in our coffee maker with loose leaf tea. That way it stays warm and we could make more of it.
Yeah, it was that bad.
So whenever we had ice cream, I was always pairing it with my tea. My mom was SO afraid that eating something super cold with something super hot would make our teeth crack. Like pouring hot tea into a really cold cup.
Lucky for me, my teeth have never cracked doing this. Always love being a human guinea pig when ice cream is involved.
And lucky for you, because this combination of ice cream and tea inspired me to pair ice cream with my NEW favourite obsession. Oatmeal all the way!
This Coffee Oatmeal with Coffee Ice Cream is also a SUPER efficient morning meal, because you get your coffee intake WITH your breakfast bowl. Just like with my go-to mocha oatmeal recipe. PLUS, you get the added caffeine from the coffee ice cream. BONUS!
I love topping my oatmeal with coconut chips, because it is so much more like a dessert and makes it look oh so pretty. If not because it tastes good, do it for the ‘gram! Maybe even drizzle some Nutella on top like I did here if you want to get SUPER crazy. I won’t judge!
