• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 2 tablespoons Dark chocolate chips (optional, for topping)
• 0.5 cup Fresh berries (optional, for topping)

Pour in the milk and stir to combine. Place the saucepan over medium heat.

Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the maple syrup and vanilla extract for sweetness and a rich flavor.

Divide the chocolate oat bran into two serving bowls.

Step 6

For optional toppings, sprinkle dark chocolate chips, fresh berries, or chopped nuts on top for added texture and flavor.

Step 7

Serve warm and enjoy!
