Here’s a recipe that is guaranteed to change the pace of you morning.  If the caffeine from the coffee doesn’t get you going than the cayenne will.  Be very aware of how much cayenne you use in this recipe, I have learned from experience to go very gently…you can always add more.

Ingredients:

Oatmeal
1/2 C dry old-fashioned oats
1 C coffee
1 cinnamon stick

Mexican spicy chocolate sauce
1 teensy pinch of cayenne
1/4 t cinnamon
1 T grapeseed oil
2 T creamer (I used coconut creamer)
1 T agave syrup
1 pinch of salt
1 wedge mexican chocolate, chopped

Directions:

Make oatmeal as you normally would, except instead of water, use coffee.  Also, add a cinnamon stick in with the oats while they are cooking.  You will end up with a dark brown oatmeal.

For the spicy chocolate sauce combine the grapeseed oil, agave, cinnamon and cayenne in a saucepan until warm. Add creamer and chopped Mexican chocolate.  Heat until chocolate has melted and everything is mixed well.  Feel free to taste test.

Add mixture to oatmeal and get engines ready!  The flavors will surely get you going…

Om,
Renata
