Dark chocolate and peanut butter oatmeal
Welcome dark chocolate and peanut butter oatmeal. Why haven’t I made this before? I HAVE NO  IDEA, but what I really know for sure is that I will be making this A LOT!!

This is the best oatmeal I have ever had, and my 6 year old son thinks so as well. I think I am going to start making different types of oatmeal versions. The next one to come, and soon, is an APPLE PIE OATMEAL version. I have already thought about the method and ingredients so stay tuned for that one as well.

I think this is a super duper healthy breakfast. If you like, you can also make a little bit more and keep in the fridge for the next mornings to come. Just add a bit of soy milk or regular milk and heat in the microwave or stove, voila!!

By the way, how do you guys like the nutrition facts of the recipes so far? I am a little bit skeptical about it since I do not go much for calories. I am not the food police, over all we try to have a well balance healthy diet and exercise and that seems to be sufficient for us.

I will keep them for now, just for those people that need them :-)

Anyhow, TRY THIS RECIPE, you will not be sorry. It is a great way to start your day.

Enjoy!!


The mixture is really dark because of the dark cocoa powder and dark chocolate chips. It was also sort of thick but I then added a bit more soy milk :-) Much better!!

This is the oatmeal after adding a little extra splash of soy milk.

This dark chocolate and peanut butter oatmeal is to die for. I will be making an apple pie version very soon, so stay tuned for that one.

Miryam"s original recipe

Yield: 4-6 servings

Total Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2 1/4 cups gluten free old fashioned oats
  • 3 1/4 cups almond  milk
  • 1-2 tbs maple syrup
  • 1/3 cup organic smooth peanut butter
  • 3 tbs dark cocoa powder
  • 4 tbs dark chocolate chips, vegan
  • 2 tbs flax seed meal, optional, wheat germ or oat bran will also work well

Directions:

Place all ingredients In a heavy saucepan and cook over medium to high heat, stirring frequently until it boils. Reduce heat and simmer for 5-10 minutes, or until milk has been absorbed and the oats have softened.

Served with extra chocolate chips, almonds and extra soy milk if desired.

I have not tried making this in a microwave but I am sure it will also work well as long as you stir in between.
