Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1.5 cups milk (or dairy-free alternative)
- 0.5 cups water
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or preferred sweetener)
- 2 tablespoons dark chocolate chips
- 1 whole banana (sliced, optional for topping)
- 2 tablespoons chopped nuts (optional, for topping)
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
Instructions
Combine the rolled oats, milk, water, unsweetened cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt in a medium-sized saucepan.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir well to ensure the cocoa powder is evenly dissolved into the liquid.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer while stirring occasionally for about 7–10 minutes, or until the oatmeal reaches your desired thickness.
Once the oats are cooked and creamy, stir in the maple syrup to sweeten the oatmeal.
Divide the oatmeal between two bowls and sprinkle each serving with 1 tablespoon of dark chocolate chips. The heat from the oatmeal will slightly melt the chocolate for a luscious finish.
Top with optional sliced banana and chopped nuts for added texture and flavor, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy your Chocolate Oatmuck Oatmeal!
