Ingredients

  • 1 cup Rolled oats
  • 2 cups Almond milk
  • 1 tablespoon Cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon Chili powder
  • 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup Dairy-free whipped cream
  • 2 tablespoons Coconut flakes

Instructions

  1. 1Get a medium saucepan ready. Add the 1 cup of rolled oats, 2 cups of almond milk, 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder, 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon of chili powder to the saucepan.
  2. 2Place the saucepan over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a boil, which is when you will see large bubbles rapidly rising to the surface. Once boiling, immediately reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let it simmer for 5 to 7 minutes. The oatmeal is ready when it has thickened and the oats are tender.
  3. 3Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the 2 tablespoons of maple syrup until it is fully combined with the oatmeal.
  4. 4Carefully pour the hot oatmeal into two serving bowls.
  5. 5Top each bowl of oatmeal with 1/8 cup of dairy-free whipped cream and 1 tablespoon of coconut flakes. Serve immediately.
