- 2 teaspoons Granulated no-calorie sweetener (e.g., stevia, monk fruit)
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the almond milk, old-fashioned oats, cocoa powder, sweetener, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir the mixture occasionally until it begins to boil gently.
Reduce the heat to low and let the oatmeal simmer, stirring frequently, for 4-5 minutes or until it thickens to your desired consistency.
While the oatmeal cooks, mash half of the banana in a small bowl using a fork.
Once the oatmeal is done cooking, stir in the mashed banana until well combined.

Slice the remaining half of the banana and arrange the slices on top of the oatmeal.
Optionally, sprinkle mini chocolate chips on top for an extra touch of sweetness.
Serve warm and enjoy a delicious, chocolaty start to your day!
