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!

Oatmeal and ice cream for breakfast sounds really cool! On my to make list!

I can’t tell you how excited I was to eat coffee oatmeal AND ice cream for breakfast! This recipe not only satisfies my craving for all things coffee-flavored, but allows me to indulge first thing in the morning!
Yes!! It’s so good, right? 🙂
What a clever way to spice up your oatmeal. I love the idea. I am so gonna try it the next time I make oatmeal. I bet my kids would want to even eat my oatmeal after they saw it had icecream in it!
Thanks Lisa. I am sure they would! It might even get picky eaters to eat their oatmeal 😉
Such a great idea to have boring oatmeal …
Haha, I always try to spice up my oatmeal!
I don’t think it’s weird at all. I could go for a bowl in a heart bit. Love the sound of this combination of flavors and textures.
Thanks Wanda! I think it’s a winning combo 🙂
This looks amazing. I think I would have kept eating the ice cream even if I thought my tooth would crack.. I just love ice cream too much to quit. And with the oatmeal, I am salivating.
Haha, same 🙂 This combo is so good!
I don’t like oatmeal but I love coffee ice cream. I think I found a way to try loving oatmeal. Yum! Thank you for this.
Thanks Hannah! You must! It is my favourite way to eat oatmeal 🙂
Wow, it looks so yum. I honestly never heard oatmeals with icecream before. 😀
Me neither. I thought it would be a good combo 🙂
I love coffee and this looks delicious. I would love to try it. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Ophelia! I hope you try it out!
I’ve never heard of coffee oatmeal with coffee ice cream but I’m sold! Eating coffee instead of drinking AND it’s breakfast/dessert all in one. I must try this.
I think I made it up :p but I hope it becomes a thing!
Wow this sounds so decadent! I love coffee ice cream so frankly anything with it is up my alley. Never thought of adding it to oatmeal but will give it a go.
It is so good! I wish I thought of it earlier!
This looks really fancy! I haven’t had ice cream and a week or so; I deserve this!
You totally deserve this Angela!
What an interesting ingredient combination! I’m not usually a fan of oats, however I think I would love this recipe!
I was never a fan of oats until recently actually!
