Servings: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
- 3/4 cup water
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup, plus additional as desired
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cardamom optional; will add more warmth
- Optional toppings: chocolate chips, yogurt, milk
Instructions
- Combine the hot cereal, milk, water, and salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Stir well, then cover and let cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 8 minutes.
- Stir in the cocoa powder, maple syrup, cinnamon, and cardamom (if using). Taste and adjust sweetener as desired. Serve with desired toppings.
Notes
- TO STORE: Store leftover oatmeal in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- TO REHEAT: Warm the oatmeal in a microwave-safe bowl with a splash of milk to rehydrate the oats for 30-second increments, stirring after each. You may also warm gently over low heat on the stovetop with a splash of milk until heated through.
- TO FREEZE: Chocolate oatmeal may be frozen for up to 6 months when kept in an airtight container. To thaw, transfer the oats to the fridge overnight or warm in the microwave for a few minutes with a splash of milk to rehydrate.
