Chocolate Oatmeal is a rich and cozy breakfast that combines the comforting texture of creamy oats with the deep flavor of cocoa and melty chocolate. It’s a satisfying, dessert-like meal that’s nourishing enough to power your morning.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup plant-based milk or water (or a mix)
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1–2 teaspoons maple syrup or sweetener of choice
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1–2 tablespoons chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate (for topping)

Instructions

  1. In a small pot, combine oats, milk or water, cocoa powder, and salt.
  2. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally for 5–7 minutes until thick and creamy.
  3. Stir in maple syrup and vanilla extract (if using). Adjust sweetness to taste.
  4. Transfer to a bowl and top with chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate.
  5. Let the chocolate melt slightly, then swirl it in. Add any extra toppings like berries, banana, or nut butter if desired. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Add nut butter or mashed banana for extra richness and natural sweetness.
  • Top with coconut flakes, chopped nuts, or fruit for more flavor and texture.
  • Stir in chia seeds or protein powder for added protein.
  • Use quick oats for a softer texture and faster cook time (3–5 minutes).
