Nutella Double Hot Chocolate Oatmeal (Porridge)
A creamy oatmeal made from hot chocolate, with chocolate chips that melt through the Nutella oasis of oatmeal, and crunchy hazelnuts.
Servings: 6
Ingredients
Oatmeal:
- 4 cups low fat/skim or almond milk
- 2 tablespoons Nutella , a chocolate hazelnut spread (or any healthier hazelnut cacao spread)
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons natural sweetener of choice/raw sugar
- 2 cups rolled oats (or quick oats)
- 1 tablespoon light butter (optional - butter ads a beautiful flavour to this oatmeal, but you can use coconut oil for a healthier option, or leave it out completely.)
Optional Toppings:
- Crushed hazelnuts
- Chocolate chips
- Extra Nutella
Instructions
- Combine milk, Nutella, cocoa powder, sweetener/sugar and oats in a medium sized saucepan on medium - high heat until beginning to warm and steam. Stir to combine. Bring to a gentle simmer and continue to stir occasionally. Once oats have fully absorbed the milk, take off heat. Add a little extra milk if oatmeal is too thick, until reaching your desired consistency.
- Serve with your desired toppings.
