INGREDIENTS 🛒
- 40g oats
- 2tsp chia seeds
- 2tsp cocoa powder
- pinch of salt
- 80ml milk
- 1tsp honey
- 1 handful of cherries (fresh/frozen)
- a splash of kefir (optional)
Ingredients
Method
- The Base: In a small pot, mix together your oats, chia seeds, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt until the cocoa powder evenly coats everything.
- Simmer the Oats: Pour in your milk and honey then turn the heat up to medium-high. Give everything a quick stir and bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Cherries: As soon as the pot starts bubbling, turn the heat down to low. Drop in your cherries and gently mash them directly into the oats and simmer for another minute. We only want to mash them a little bit to release their juices.
- Cook and Adjust the Thickness: Cook for approx. one more minute on low heat to thicken. If the oatmeal feels a bit too thick or dry, feel free to stir in an extra splash of milk. If it feels too liquidy for your liking, just sprinkle in a tiny bit more oats or let it rest off the heat for a minute to firm up. Enjoy 🙂
