Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1.5 cups milk (or dairy-free alternative)
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons sugar (or sweetener of choice)
- 1 pinch salt
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups mini marshmallows
- 2 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, milk, cocoa powder, sugar, and a pinch of salt.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir well to dissolve the cocoa powder and sugar.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for approximately 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Cook until the oatmeal reaches your desired thickness.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Divide the oatmeal into two bowls and top each serving with mini marshmallows. Let them melt slightly for an extra gooey texture.
If desired, sprinkle chocolate chips on top for added richness.
Serve immediately and enjoy your warm and chocolatey breakfast treat.
