Ingredients

• 2 cups Oat milk (unsweetened)
• 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder (unsweetened)

• 2 tablespoons Coconut cream (optional, for creaminess)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 pinch Salt

Step 3

3. Add the maple syrup, coconut cream (if using), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the saucepan. Stir well to combine.

Step 4

4. Heat the mixture gently until steaming, but do not let it boil. Stir occasionally to ensure it doesn't scorch at the bottom.

5. Taste-test and adjust sweetness with more maple syrup, if desired.

Step 6

6. Pour into mugs, and serve hot. Optionally, garnish with whipped coconut cream or a sprinkle of cocoa powder for an extra treat.
