Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups almond milk
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 ripe banana, mashed
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, cocoa powder, mashed banana, maple syrup (if using), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk briefly to combine.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.

- Spoon into bowls and add desired toppings. Serve warm.
Notes
For a creamier texture, use rolled oats and adjust the sweetness based on the ripeness of the banana. Adjust liquid as necessary if oatmeal becomes too thick.
