In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, unsweetened almond milk, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, mashed ripe banana, chia seeds, and salt.
Heat the mixture over medium-high heat, stirring frequently.
Once the oats begin to bubble, reduce the heat to medium-low and continue to cook, stirring occasionally until the oatmeal reaches your desired consistency, about 8-10 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the chopped dark chocolate until melted and well combined.
Divide the oatmeal between two bowls.
Top each bowl with fresh berries and chopped nuts, if using.
Serve warm and enjoy!
