Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 cup water
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (or honey for non-vegan option)
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons dark chocolate chips (optional, for topping)
- 0.5 cup sliced banana (optional, for topping)
- 1 tablespoon chopped peanuts (optional, for topping)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, milk, and water. Stir to mix.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once the liquid starts to simmer, add the cocoa powder and stir well to dissolve fully, ensuring there are no clumps.
Cook the oats for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they reach your desired consistency. Add a splash more milk if needed for a creamier texture.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until evenly combined.
Divide the oatmeal into two bowls. Top each bowl with dark chocolate chips, sliced banana, and chopped peanuts, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy the decadent, jazzy flavors!
