Chocolate Oatmeal Porridge Recipe

So who doesn't love chocolate? Or anything Chocolatey. I love white Chocolate ( yes I know white Chocolate isn't real chocolate but I just love it.) Tell you what? I am not a big fan of dark chocolate, hubby and my son totally love those. But I must say that for someone who isn't crazy about dark chocolate, this decadent chocolate oatmeal porridge definitely made me smile

How to make Chocolate Oatmeal

This recipe doesn't contain real chocolate but rather I used a good quality cocoa powder. I added some decaf coffee powder to enhance the chocolate flavor. Coffee really does some magic to chocolate all the time. You really have to try it if you haven't you need to because it's sooo good.

What you do is you basically cook the oats slowly over medium low heat in milk mixed with cocoa powder and coffee. The magic happens as the oats gets infused with the cocoa and coffee flavors just like when you marinate meats.

The end result gooey chocolatey oatmeal porridge for the win. You've got to try this

What you need to make this decadent Chocolate Oatmeal

• Oats: I prefer to use traditional oats or steak cut oats over quick oats for this recipe because they give enough to room for infusion of flavors while they cook because of their longer cook time.

• Salt: Salt in oatmeal is simply magical. It brings out the depth in flavor by offsetting the sweetness.

• Milk: Full cream milk is my preference for richness but skimmed milk or any low fat milk will work. If you are dairy free you can use any plant based milk like almond milk or coconut milk.

• Cocoa Powder: a good quality cocoa powder is recommended.

• Decaffeinated instant Coffee: Coffee enhances the flavor of chocolate so I love adding coffee to my chocolate recipes

• Vanilla Essence: For flavor

• Toppings: Top off the chocolate oatmeal with chocolate chunks or chips, some almond slivers and some berries.
