# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It's basically a café latte you can eat with a spoon, and it keeps you full way longer than any coffee ever could.
  • The whole thing comes together in 15 minutes, which means you can have something this cozy on a weekday morning without stress.
  • One batch easily serves two, so it's perfect for sharing or meal-prepping when you know you'll need comfort food waiting for you.
02 -
  • Stir frequently while cooking—oats are sneaky about sticking to the bottom of the pan and burning, which ruins the whole thing.
  • Don't skimp on the coffee or espresso; weak coffee gets completely lost under the pumpkin spices and you'll wonder why this doesn't taste like what you expected.
03 -
  • If you're making this for one instead of two, just halve everything and use a smaller saucepan so you get that beautiful creamy consistency without dry bits.
  • Brew your coffee extra strong the night before or use espresso if you have it—cold coffee stirred in at the end adds depth without cooling down your whole bowl.
