Chocolate Oatmeal With Berries Recipe

Step 1: Prepare Ingredients

Gather your ingredients: rolled oats, unsweetened cocoa powder, water or milk (dairy or plant-based), honey or maple syrup, fresh or frozen berries, and a pinch of salt.

Step 2: Cook Oatmeal

In a medium saucepan, bring water or milk to a boil over medium heat. Add oats, unsweetened cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to combine.

Step 3: Simmer Oatmeal

Reduce heat to low and let the mixture simmer, stirring occasionally, until the oats are cooked and the mixture is creamy, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 4: Sweeten the Oatmeal

Remove the oatmeal from the heat and stir in honey or maple syrup to taste.

Step 5: Add Berries

Top your oatmeal with fresh or frozen berries. You can lightly mash the berries if you prefer them more incorporated into the oatmeal.

Step 6: Serve

Serve the oatmeal warm, optionally garnished with additional berries or a sprinkle of cocoa powder.
