Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Gluten-free rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 cups Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 ounce Chopped dark chocolate (gluten-free certified)
- 1 Banana, sliced
- 2 tablespoons Chopped nuts (such as almonds or walnuts)
- 0.5 cup Fresh berries (optional)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the gluten-free rolled oats, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt.
Add the milk and stir to combine all the ingredients. Place the saucepan over medium heat.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently to prevent the oats from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Once the mixture begins to thicken, about 5 minutes in, stir in the maple syrup and vanilla extract.
Continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes until the oatmeal reaches your desired thickness.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the chopped dark chocolate until it's completely melted and integrated into the oatmeal.
Divide the chocolate oatmeal between two serving bowls.
Top each serving with sliced banana, chopped nuts, and fresh berries if using.
Serve warm and enjoy your nutritious gluten-free chocolate oatmeal.
