This year has been awesome! It's been a really busy year, full of traveling for both work and fun times. 🙂 I've found myself grabbing breakfast at many a coffee shop, or even the airport. I've come to love, what I call "coffee shop oatmeal." It's fast, delicious and super filling.
This also makes a fantastic breakfast for when you need something quick but crave something homemade. This takes minutes to put together and provided that you have a travel mug or bowl, an easy breakfast to take on the go.
Coffee Shop Oatmeal, makes one serving.
2/3 cup quick cooking oats
1/2 cup mixed nuts (I used pecans, sunflower seeds and chia seeds)
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon sugar, brown sugar or honey*
2/3 cup milk
*You can adjust the sweetness level to your liking or cut out the sweetner entirely.
Combine all the ingredients, besides milk, in a heat proof mug or small bowl. Steam the milk until piping hot. I did this using the steaming wand of my espresso machine, but you can also easily do this on the stove in a small pot. Whisk the milk as it heats up, incorporting air into the milk so you can get that latte foam. Foam makes this oatmeal seem more like a coffee shop. 🙂 Pour the milk into the oatmeal mixture, give it a stir and allow it to soak and soften for 4-5 minutes.
For added flavor you could add fresh berries or dried fruit. Enjoy this along side a cup of coffee and you'll feel like you're ready to take on the day. Or, at least, that's how I feel after oatmeal. 🙂
Enjoy this friends! Happy breakfasting. 🙂 xo. Emma

Yum! Sometimes at night I will put oatmeal, yogurt, milk, honey & frozen or fresh fruit in a mason jar. Let it soak all night and you have a yummy treat in the morning 🙂 So good! This looks awesome too. ♥LO
Sounds delicious! We posted something similar a while back, but we’ll definitely have to try your version! Nice spin on something simple.

Thanks for sharing!

This is exactly what I had for breakfast every morning at the coffee shop where I used to work- so good! And I love how easy it is to switch up the flavors so you never get sick of it!
I am not a fan of oatmeal, but this sounds pretty good!
Mmmmm.. looks fantastic. Now I wish I had more latte left.
Nice! I am so bored of my oatmeal-it’s just plain quick oats. Can’t wait to try this!
Oh, dear Lord, Emma. You have made my life complete! Thank you SO much for sharing this, I cannot wait to try it tomorrow morning with freshly perked french roast coffee! xoxo Shannon

The recipe looks yummy but I think the photos are too repetitive – sorry love the blog but just noticed it in this post it could have been posted with like one photo from the first two and one from the last two along with the middle photo. ! I love oatmeal with some milled flaxseeds added in for fiber and omega 3! Must try the whisked milk for a fancy weekend breakfast xo Ali
love this idea! this looks delicious and really simple. i didn’t know you can make latte foam on the stove? i’ll definitely have to try that

Yummers! I love a quick, healthy and delicious oatmeal any day!
I’ve been having oatmeal so much lately for breakfast that this recipe was just what I needed to shake it up. Thanks! (My version is 1.5 cups boiling 1% milk, 3/4 cup old-fashioned oats, dash of salt, 1 tsp of brown sugar, 1/2 mashed banana, a heckuva lot of cinnamon and a dash of vanilla extract. I mix it all on the stovetop for 5-8 minutes then serve with crushed walnuts and more sliced fruit. Keeps me full way past lunch if I need to work through the day!)
This looks delicious! I love all of the variations everyone is adding here too. Can’t wait to try!

Looks delicious! But I totally though you were going to pour coffee into it for a new twist, which I wasn’t so sure about… Glad you kept it traditional 🙂
Nothing beats drinking a fresh cup of hot coffee in the office first thing in the morning.
A better way to enjoy this is to have your very own coffee machine installed at your business.

That looks super easy and also really great for energy in the morning! I’m unsure if I’m willing to froth milk on my stove top each morning [and subsequently wash the dishes right after] but I’ll definitely give it a try!
xoxo, Em
Yum! What a great idea! This looks so yummy! I am defiantly going to give this a try tomorrow morning!!
Thank you so much for posting this! I just found my go-to breakfast for summer! YAY!
This sounds AMAZING! I love coffee shop oatmeal – my hubs always makes fun of me because it’s my “go to” breakfast when we’re on the go and he thinks it’s so boring, but it’s SO yummy if you get it just right!
Mmm…soo trying this! Even if I don’t have to get ur early to go somewhere I will eat this because it looks so good!
Love this idea! I’m always eating on-the-go. Thanks for sharing, ladies!

Emma,
I was so excited to see this post because I make something similar for breakfast, we call them “oatmeal lattes.”
Place-
1/2 cup of *cooked oatmeal
1 cup of milk
1 TBL of maple syrup
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
– in a blender and blend for a minute or so.
–then pour into a cup and microwave until hot and frothy. We then add a shot of espresso to make it a latte 🙂
Hope you try it out some time!
Rachel
sounds like an awesome breakfast 🙂
I work in a cafe in the blue mountains, Australia. Today was an exceptionally cold day and so decided to give this a crack at work. OMG it was amazing! Thank you girls for allowing me an extra 30 mins sleep in, because now I will just make my breakfast at work 🙂
I absolutely love this. I really like oatmeal, but often don’t think to prepare it for myself. Thanks for the reminder at how lovely it can be!
