Let’s Get Cooking!
Boil Water or Milk : Start by bringing 2 cups of water or your selected milk to a rolling boil in a pot over medium heat. You’ll want to keep an eye on it, so it doesn’t boil over! This should take about 5 minutes.
Mix Ingredients : Stir in 1 cup of rolled oats, 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt. This is when all those aromatic chocolate notes start to fill your kitchen. Yum!
Simmer : Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes. You want the oats to absorb that delicious cocoa liquid until it becomes creamy and thick but still a little bit saucy, just perfect!
Remove from Heat : Once the oatmeal has absorbed most of the liquid, remove it from the heat. Give it a taste, add more cocoa or a dash of salt if you feel fancy!
Add Peanut Butter & Sweetener : Stir in your peanut butter and maple syrup (if using). Now, if you’ve been following along, you can just picture how creamy and luscious this is becoming. You’ll want to mix it until everything is nicely melted and combined!
Serve Warm : Spoon your lovely oatmeal into bowls and top with chocolate chips if desired. Dive right in. I promise, it’s irresistible!
