HOW TO MAKE THIS OATS

• Blending rolled oats into a floury consistency will give a cake-batter like texture. Alternatively use whole rolled oats as they are. For gluten-free option, use a gluten-free certified oats.

• Cook the oats to your liking. If you like your oats more runny, add more hazelnut milk or water.

• To make this a high-protein oats, replace half the cacao powder with chocolate protein powder or add half a scoop of chocolate protein and add more liquid.

• Serve the cooked oats hot or cold. Either way it will taste amazing.

• Hazelnut milk is my favourite to use in this recipe, but you can use any milk of choice.

• I added half a mashed banana to sweeten the oats, but you can alternatively use maple syrup to sweeten if you like.

• To make the chocolate yoghurt: mix (vegan) plain yoghurt with cacao powder and add a drizzle of maple syrup and serve with the oats.

• Alternatively, you can use any yoghurt of choice.

• For extra crunch, sprinkle with cacao nibs, homemade granola and/or hemp seeds.

• Berries like blackberries and black cherries are especially delicious with this oats.
