Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups milk (or milk alternative)
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 quarter cup raisins
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon dark chocolate chips (optional, for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon chopped nuts (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, milk, water, and unsweetened cocoa powder. Stir well to ensure the cocoa powder is evenly distributed.
Place the saucepan on medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally to prevent the oats from sticking to the bottom.
Once the mixture begins to bubble, reduce the heat to low and add the raisins. Allow the porridge to simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until the oats are cooked and the porridge reaches your desired consistency. Stir occasionally during this time.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Taste the porridge and, if desired, sweeten it with honey or maple syrup.
Divide the porridge into two serving bowls. If desired, garnish with dark chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or additional raisins for added texture and flavor.
Serve warm and enjoy your creamy Chocolate Raisin Porridge!
