Print Recipe

Decadent and healthy chocolate peanut butter oatmeal, perfect for a quick and satisfying breakfast. Creamy, chocolatey, and packed with peanut butter flavor!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats (not instant)
  • 2 cups milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/4 cup peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey, agave)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Combine Oats, Milk, and Water: In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the rolled oats, milk, and water.
  2. Bring to a Boil: Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally.
  3. Reduce Heat and Simmer: Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 5-7 minutes, or until the oats are cooked through and have absorbed most of the liquid. Stir frequently.
  4. Check for Doneness: The oatmeal should be creamy and slightly thickened. If too watery, simmer longer. If too thick, add a splash of milk or water.
  5. Stir in Peanut Butter: Remove from heat. Add the peanut butter and stir vigorously until completely melted and incorporated.
  6. Add Cocoa Powder: Add the unsweetened cocoa powder and stir well to combine.
  7. Sweeten with Maple Syrup: Pour in the maple syrup (or honey/agave) and stir until fully incorporated. Adjust to taste.
  8. Incorporate Vanilla Extract and Salt: Stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
  9. Taste and Adjust: Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
  10. Pour into Bowls: Divide the chocolate peanut butter oatmeal evenly between two bowls.
  11. Add Toppings: Add your favorite toppings.
  12. Enjoy Immediately: Serve the oatmeal immediately while it’s still warm and creamy.

Notes

  • For a thicker oatmeal, use less liquid; for a thinner oatmeal, use more.
  • Adjust the amount of sweetener to your liking.
  • Experiment with different nut butters, spices, and toppings.
  • For overnight oats, prepare the oatmeal the night before and store it in the refrigerator.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave, adding a splash of milk if needed.
