What we love about oatmeal so much is that it is cheap, healthy, delicious, and works great as a sweet or savory food. You can eat it plain, top it with fruits or nuts, you can make it with vanilla, chocolate, or cinnamon. They can be cooked in water, milk, or plant milk, so really there are a thousand ways you can make this dish, it all depends on your creativity.
Oatmeal is such a versatile food, you can really turn it into anything you want.
If you go to the supermarket, you will probably see steel-cut oats, old-fashioned or rolled oats, and quick (instant) oats. All 3 types of products are great, just keep in mind that steel-cut oats take the longest to cook, because those are the least processed.
We are going to recommend old-fashioned oats for this recipe because it is still nutritious and plain but cooks faster.
The great thing about this recipe is that it is creamy and sweet, but can be completely guilt-free. The raw cocoa powder produces a chocolatey sticky texture that feels and tastes like a chocolate pudding without tons of added sugar.
Not even mentioning that infusing it with AVB can give you a perfect high. In this case, we suggest that you have it as an afternoon treat, not as breakfast ;)
