Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup milk (or non-dairy milk)
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or sweetener of choice)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
- 2 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional)
- fresh fruit or nuts (for topping, optional)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, milk, water, cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Lower the heat and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the oatmeal thickens to your desired consistency.
Remove the saucepan from heat. If desired, stir in chocolate chips to make the oatmeal extra creamy and chocolaty.
Divide the oatmeal into two bowls and top with your favorite fresh fruit, nuts, or seeds.
Serve immediately and enjoy the warm, chocolaty goodness!
