Ingredients

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 2 cups milk (or milk alternative)
• 1 cup water
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 quarter cup raisins
• 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
• 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon dark chocolate chips (optional, for garnish)
• 1 tablespoon chopped nuts (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, milk, water, and unsweetened cocoa powder. Stir well to ensure the cocoa powder is evenly distributed.

Step 2

Place the saucepan on medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally to prevent the oats from sticking to the bottom.

Step 3

Once the mixture begins to bubble, reduce the heat to low and add the raisins. Allow the porridge to simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until the oats are cooked and the porridge reaches your desired consistency. Stir occasionally during this time.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Taste the porridge and, if desired, sweeten it with honey or maple syrup.

Step 5

Divide the porridge into two serving bowls. If desired, garnish with dark chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or additional raisins for added texture and flavor.

Step 6

Serve warm and enjoy your creamy Chocolate Raisin Porridge!
