Cinnamon Chocolate Oatmeal
A thick, chocolatey oatmeal with added cinnamon for the ultimate Fall or Winter breakfast.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
- 3/4 cup soy milk , or any other milk you prefer (for thinner oatmeal see my note below)
- 2 tsp 100% maple syrup
- 1 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- sliced almonds for topping (optional)
Instructions
- In a small pot over the stove, add oats, milk, and maple syrup. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to simmer. Note: If you prefer thinner oats, add an additional 1/2 cup of milk.
- Cook oats until the milk has mostly been soaked up by the oats and becomes thick. This usually takes about 5-7 minutes. Be sure to stir frequently to prevent the milk from scalding.
- Once oats are at your desired texture, take them off the heat and mix in the cocoa powder and cinnamon until thoroughly combined.
- Scoop oatmeal into a bowl and top with sliced almonds for that added crunch. Enjoy!
