Ingredients

Chocolate Oatmeal Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1 cup milk of choice (dairy or soy milk recommended)
  • 1/2 tbsp pure maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Combine dry ingredients: In a small saucepan, mix together the rolled oats, chia seeds, and cocoa powder ensuring they are evenly combined to form the chocolate base.
  2. Add liquid and sweetener: Pour in the milk and add the pure maple syrup to the pan. Stir the mixture thoroughly to combine all ingredients evenly.
  3. Bring to a boil: Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, taking care to avoid burning the oats.
  4. Simmer and stir: Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook the oatmeal while stirring frequently for 5 to 10 minutes. This will help the oats soften and the mixture thicken to a creamy consistency.
  5. Serve with toppings: Once the oatmeal reaches your preferred thickness, remove from heat. Add optional toppings such as fresh berries, shredded coconut, nut butter, or extra seeds before serving for added flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Toppings are optional and not included in the nutritional information.
  • Use milk alternatives like soy or almond milk if preferred to adjust dietary needs or flavor profiles.
  • Stir frequently during cooking to prevent the oatmeal from sticking to the pan or burning.
