Chocolate Oat Milk Recipes

CHOCOLATE OATMEAL

Steps:

• Heat milk and a pinch of salt in a small saucepan over medium heat until begining to simmer.
• Reduce heat and add oats, cocoa and sugar.
• Simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally until thickened.
• If you want your oatmeal thick or watery, this is where you determine the consistency- don't stop until it's pretty much at the consistency you would like.
• Cover and let sit for about 5 minutes (this cooks the oatmeal more thoroughly).
• Remove cover, stir and serve.
• Garnish with chocolate chips, nuts, and/or fruit if desired.

OAT MILK CHOCOLATE PUDDING

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, use a wooden spoon or silicone spatula to stir together the sugar, cocoa, cornstarch and salt. Slowly stir in the milk and keep stirring until smooth and combined.
• Stir the mixture constantly over medium-low heat, scraping the bottom, sides and corners of the pan, until the pudding thickens, begins to bubble, and coats the back of the spoon or spatula, 5 to 10 minutes. (If the pudding is coating the bottom of the pan too quickly, reduce the heat.)
• Add the chocolate and stir vigorously until the pudding is very thick and smooth, about 30 seconds longer.
• Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla. Spoon the pudding into a serving bowl or individual cups or ramekins. Serve warm, at room temperature or chilled (see Tip 2). It will thicken as it cools.

CHOCOLATE OATMEAL BARS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9 inch square baking pan.
• To prepare Filling: In a heavy pot, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter and chocolate chips. Add the evaporated milk and 1/4 cup of the white sugar. Bring to a rolling boil, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Stir in nuts and cool.
• To prepare cookie base: Cream 1 1/2 cups of the butter and the brown sugar together. Add the vanilla and the egg, and beat until light and fluffy.
• Add the flour, baking soda, and 1 3/4 cups of the oats and blend well.
• Press 2/3 of this mixture into the bottom of the greased pan. Spread the cooled filling on top of the cookie crust.
• Mix the remaining 1/4 cup of oats with the remainder of the cookie base, and crumble over the filling. Bake for 25-30 minutes.

QUICK CHOCOLATE OATMEAL

Steps:

• Combine milk, cocoa powder, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and brown sugar in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Stir oats into boiling milk and cook over medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes.

CHOCOLATE OAT MILK

Steps:

• Combine the oats with enough water to cover in a medium bowl. Refrigerate the oats to soften, at least 6 hours and up to overnight.
• Drain and rinse the oats very well to remove any residue. Combine the oats with 3 cups fresh water in a blender. Blend on high until the oats are completely pulverized, 2 to 3 minutes. Strain the oat milk through a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a container. (Save the oat pulp for smoothies or to use in baked goods.)
• Warm 1 cup of the oat milk in a microwave-safe container, about 2 minutes.
• Add the honey and cocoa powder to the hot milk and stir until all the lumps are gone.
• Add the vanilla, remaining cold oat milk and 1/4 teaspoon salt; stir to combine. Store the chocolate oat milk in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
