Peanut Butter Chocolate Oatmeal Recipe

This chocolate oatmeal is ready under 10 minutes. Just bring the water to a boil, add all the ingredients expect the PB topping, simmer until cooked and then let sit for 5 minutes to thicken.

They’re thick and creamy, loaded with chocolate flavour, naturally sweetened, high in protein, high in fibre, vegan and gluten-free.

Extra Thick Chocolate Oatmeal

If you like a traditional porridge-consistency to your oatmeal, follow the recipe and use 1 cup of water. However, if you want to try them super thick, somewhat like a stovetop version of my brownie batter overnight oats, try reducing the water down to 3/4 cup.

Cooking them with less water results in a thick and creamy bowl of chocolate oatmeal with a flavour and texture that falls somewhere between brownie batter and cake batter. You can stir in a bit of almond milk once cooked to adjust the thickness.
