Instructions
Mixed the brewed coffee with the coconut milk. Pour 1/4 cup of the coffee mixture over the oats in either a microwave-safe bowl or a saucepan on the stovetop. For the microwave, the oats and coffee should cook for about 1 to 2 minutes. On the stovetop over medium heat, the oats should cook for 5 to 10 minutes.
Keep an extra 1/4 to 1/3 cup of the coffee mixture for topping. Once the oats are heated, add the cocoa and stir together.
Divide the oats into two bowls. Add the chocolate chips, coconut, chia and maple syrup, if desired.
Pour the rest of the coffee mixture on top and sprinkle with the cocoa powder. Add more coconut milk or almond milk to make the oats more creamy.
Top with additional dark chocolate and chia seeds.
