Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup water
- 0.5 cup low-fat milk
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 medium banana
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup fresh berries (optional, for topping)
- 2 tablespoons chopped nuts (optional, for topping)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized pot, combine the rolled oats, water, and low-fat milk. Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Step 2
While the oats are heating, mash the banana in a bowl until smooth.
Step 3
When the liquid begins to simmer, reduce the heat to low and stir in the mashed banana, unsweetened cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt.
Step 4
Cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, until the oats have absorbed the liquid and reached your desired level of creaminess, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 5
Once the oats are cooked, taste and add honey or maple syrup for sweetness, adjusting to your preference.
Step 6
Remove from heat and let the oats cool slightly, as this will help thicken them further.
Step 7
Divide the creamy chocolate oats into two bowls.
Step 8
Top each serving with your choice of fresh berries and chopped nuts if desired, for added flavor and texture.
Step 9
Serve immediately and enjoy your healthy, low-fat chocolate oat breakfast!
