Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

2 1/2 cups almond milk (or any non-dairy milk)

2 tablespoons cocoa powder

1/4 cup maple syrup (adjust to taste)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Zest of 1 orange

Juice of 1 orange

Pinch of salt

1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional, for added texture)

1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (vegan)

Toppings: Sliced bananas, orange segments, chopped nuts, or additional chocolate chips

Instructions
 

In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, orange zest, orange juice, and a pinch of salt.

    Stir the mixture well until all the ingredients are combined.

      Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring it to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

        Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 5-7 minutes, or until the oats are cooked and have absorbed most of the liquid. If using chia seeds, stir them in after about 3 minutes of simmering.

          Remove from heat and stir in the dark chocolate chips until melted and evenly distributed throughout the oatmeal.

            Serve in bowls and top with your favorite toppings such as sliced bananas, orange segments, chopped nuts, or a sprinkle of additional chocolate chips.

              Enjoy warm for a delightful breakfast or as an indulgent snack!
