Ingredients
1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 teaspoon maple syrup or natural sweetener (optional)
1 pinch sea salt
Instructions
Whisk together the rolled oats, chia seeds, cocoa powder, and salt in a small saucepan until well combined.
Slowly pour in the almond milk while stirring to ensure a smooth, uniform mixture.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring to a gentle simmer.
Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats are tender and the mixture has thickened to your desired consistency.
Remove from heat, stir in the sweetener if using, and serve immediately in a warm bowl.
Notes
You can double or triple the batch and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Reheat with a splash of extra milk to restore the creamy texture.
Top with fresh berries, walnuts, or a dollop of nut butter for extra flavor and nutrients.
