Author Notes
Chocoholics welcome! This is a scrumptious, chocolatey, nutty, and yes, healthy, bowl of oats that will start your day off right leaving you full for hours. Hearty oats, raw cacao, nuts, and chia seeds create a nutrient packed breakfast that feels more like a decadent desert. Caution: Eating such a delicious breakfast may make you abnormally sweet for the day :)
A note on this recipe: don't need to worry too much about measurements here. If you want your oatmeal more wet, add more milk. For a drier oatmeal, add more oats. Same for the cacao - add as much as you want. Try it a few times to see what your perfect combo is. —CookingConSal
