Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups milk (dairy or plant-based, ensure nut-free)
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons chocolate chips (ensure nut-free)
- 1 banana, sliced
- 0.5 cup fresh berries (optional)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine rolled oats, milk, cocoa powder, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Stir the oats regularly to prevent them from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Cook for about 5 to 10 minutes, or until the oats are cooked to your desired consistency and the mixture is thick and creamy.
Once cooked, remove the saucepan from the heat and fold in the chocolate chips. Stir until they are melted and well incorporated.
Divide the chocolate oats into two bowls.
Top each bowl with sliced banana and freshly washed berries if using.
Serve immediately while warm and enjoy the creamy, chocolatey goodness!
