This chocolate oatmeal breakfast recipe is super quick and easy to make. All you need is oatmeal, chocolate, and some milk, and in 5 minutes, you have a delicious breakfast.

I love making something special like French toast or pancakes for breakfast, but I don't always have the time. This oatmeal recipe is perfect for those busy mornings when you crave something sweet, but it has to be quick and easy.
Because oatmeal has a neutral flavor, there is no limit to the number of variations you can make with it. By adding fruit like apple or banana, nuts, seeds, or chocolate to your oatmeal, you can make it a lot tastier.
You can use cocoa powder to replace the chocolate in this recipe. Add some banana, honey, or another sweetener to taste to make it a little sweeter.
Ingredients
- Oatmeal - use quick oats for this recipe.
- Chocolate - I love dark chocolate in my oatmeal, but you can use any chocolate.
- Milk - whole milk gives the oatmeal a delicious, creamy texture, but you can substitute t for any (plant-based) milk.
You can find the complete ingredient list and instructions on the recipe card below!
