This extra thick and creamy, vegan peanut butter chocolate oatmeal tastes like dessert but is made with healthy ingredients so you can go ahead and enjoy it for breakfast.

To make this recipe you’ll need rolled oats, cocoa powder, chocolate vegan protein powder, sea salt, chia seeds, banana and peanut butter. This delicious chocolate oatmeal is vegan, gluten-free, refined sugar-free and high in protein and fibre.

Vegan Peanut Butter Chocolate Oatmeal

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.

Topping Ideas

I went with a peanut butter topping but you can switch this chocolate oatmeal up any way you want with different toppings or add-ins.

  • chopped strawberries and shredded coconut
  • chocolate chips and raspberries
  • cacao nibs and peanuts
  • dairy-free yogurt and fruit of choice
  • almonds and shredded coconut
  • walnuts and blueberries
  • tahini and raspberries
  • chia seed jam and banana
  • cacao nibs and hemp seeds
  • almond butter and chopped almonds

    My kids love this recipe which I combine with another to make it more filling and nutritious without the protein powder. I add 1 cup riced cauliflower, 1T chia instead of 2, 1T hemp seeds, and 1T flax ground. They love it topped with banana and chocolate chips.ย 

  2. Hi Deryn! This oatmeal recipe is a winner! My kids always ask this for breakfast. I love that you gave us other options on what other toppings that would blend well with this recipe. I’ve already tried adding chopped strawberries and shredded coconut, and chia seed jam and banana but what they love most is the ‘chocolate chips and raspberries’ combo. ๐Ÿ™‚

    1. Yummm…chocolate chips and raspberries sounds perfect. So glad you guys have been enjoying it! Thanks for letting me know, I appreciate that!
