- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk

In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats and almond milk over medium heat.
Stir in the unsweetened cocoa powder until well incorporated, ensuring there are no lumps.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 5 to 7 minutes, or until the oats have absorbed most of the almond milk and have reached a creamy consistency.
