Description
A rich and indulgent breakfast option combining the goodness of oats with dark chocolate flavor and added protein for a satisfying start to the day.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup almond milk (or any milk of choice)
- 1 scoop (about 25g) chocolate protein powder
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon dark chocolate chips
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: 1 banana, sliced, for topping
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, bring the almond milk to a gentle boil over medium heat.
- Stir in the rolled oats and a pinch of salt. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats are soft and have absorbed most of the liquid.
- Remove from heat and stir in the chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract until well combined and smooth.
- Transfer to a bowl and top with dark chocolate chips and sliced banana if desired.
- Serve warm and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- For a vegan version, use plant-based protein powder and non-dairy milk.
- Adjust sweetness by adding a natural sweetener like maple syrup if needed.
- This recipe can be prepared in the microwave: combine oats and milk in a bowl, microwave for 2-3 minutes, then stir in other ingredients.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days; reheat with a splash of milk.
