Need some extra 'kick' in your breakfast? Try Mocha Oatmeal!

This is one of those great 'created-by-accident' recipes! I was making oatmeal on-the-go at work and didn't have any additional almond milk to add into it once it was cooked. All I had was my coffee. So after some experimentation, Mocha Oatmeal was created. If you love the flavour of specialty coffee Mochas this is a great recipe to put a special twist on your oatmeal!
