- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1.5 cups unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1 ripe banana, mashed
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 scoop chocolate protein powder
- 1 tablespoon natural peanut butter (or almond butter)

- 1 tablespoon dark chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds (optional)

Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats and almond milk over medium heat. Stir frequently to prevent sticking.
Once the mixture begins to simmer (around 2-3 minutes), stir in the mashed banana, cocoa powder, chocolate protein powder, and ground cinnamon. Mix well to combine all ingredients.
Cook the oatmeal, continuing to stir occasionally, for about 5-7 minutes or until it reaches your desired consistency.
Remove the oatmeal from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and peanut butter until fully incorporated.
Spoon the oatmeal into a serving bowl and top with dark chocolate chips, chia seeds (if using), and any additional toppings like fresh berries or sliced banana.
Let it cool slightly, then serve and enjoy your Chocolate Fudge Power Oatmeal!
