oatmeal - Chocolate Mudslide Oatmeal

By tinathorn

Ingredients

• 40 grams uncooked oats (1 serving)
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 1 cup water or milk of choice (I highly recommend using at least 1/2 cup of milk–such as almond milk. It yields a much creamier result.)
• 1/4 tsp salt
• sweetener of choice
• optional: Amazing Grass chocolate superfood powder
• 5 grams (1tbsp) Special Dark cocoa powder (It has a completely different taste from regular cocoa powder, so if you use regular, you might have to add a lot more for the chocolatey taste.)

Preparation

Step 1

. Cook up a serving of oatmeal with the water and/or milk and a little salt (I use 400g water and 1/4tsp salt). (I like to cook the oats the day before so that I can throw breakfast together more quickly.)

2. Add the vanilla, cocoa, and more salt and sweetener to taste. (I also add more water, as some will evaporate if you leave the cooked oatmeal in the fridge overnight.)

3. Optional: Right before I eat this mess, I sprinkle on about 1/2 a little packet of the chocolate super food powder. Then I drizzle on about 1/8 cup almond milk. I don’t stir either of these things in. I love the unstirred, powdery texture.
