The next day, give your oats one last good stir and mix in the chocolate chips for the final zhuzh factor.
Indeed, your efforts will be rewarded; the final result will be oats that are wonderfully creamy, enriched with complex notes of coffee.You can eat the oatmeal on its own or garnish it with nuts and fruit, whatever your heart and stomach lean towards.
