Chocolate Oatmeal

This is the creamiest, most luxurious oatmeal I have made so far. It's almost like a pudding. But you need to make sure you cook it a while and over a lower heat than usual to achieve this consistency. I also recently tried a Banana chocolate sauce from my favourite brand , Sweet Freedom.

Yes, it says for milkshake but who says you can't use it for oatmeal?

This was another time I made it, but didn't cook it as long so it wasn't as creamy, but I liked the photo too much to delete it...

...appreciate it

Chocolate Oatmeal

Serves: 2

Ingredients

• 60g oats

• 4 tsp milled flax seeds

• 240ml coconut milk ( I love the brand Alpro )

• 1 tbsp lucuma powder ( or remove I just like the extra nutrition and sweetness )

• 3 tbsp cacao powder

• 1 tbsp sweetener ( I used stevia )

• 2 tsp coconut oil

• tiny pinch salt

To serve

• 3 tbsp almond butter

• 2 small bananas, sliced

• 2 tbsp mixed seeds

• chocolate sauce or any kind of syrup to drizzle, optional

*This is also nice served with some mixed berries heated up in a sauce with a splash of water and a touch of maple syrup and vanilla.

Method

- Simply heat all the oatmeal ingredients together in a small saucepan over a medium-high heat. Stir regularly.

- Add more liquid if it gets too dry and cooks until your desired thickness.

- Serve with the toppings and enjoy for breakfast. If you have time I have this on a cold winter's day for lunch too!
