hot chocolate oatmeal latte
Get your chocolate, breakfast, and caffeine fix all in one!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup old fashioned oats
- 1 1/2 cups milk of choice
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- 2-3 tbsp maple syrup or brown sugar, to taste
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 oz chopped dark chocolate
- 2 shots espresso, or 1/2 cup brewed coffee
- whipped cream, granola, and chocolate curls, to top
Instructions
- In a small saucepot, mix together the oats, milk (I used whole), cocoa powder, maple syrup, and vanilla. Bring to a simmer and cook, whisking frequently, until slightly thickened, about 5-8 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in the dark chocolate until melted, then continue vigorously whisking until the milk is very frothy.
- Pour the espresso or brewed coffee overtop the oats. Spoon on whipped cream and garnish with chocolate curls and granola, as desired. Enjoy warm!
Notes
*Overnight oats: You can store the prepared and portioned oatmeal lattes in the fridge for up to 3 days. They will thicken into a more scoopable consistency.
