Cacao porridge

Cacao porridge is sO good!!! If you like porridge and you like chocolate then you seriously need to try this! Cacao is quite bitter, so I sweeten it with banana and berries, but you could add some pure maple syrup or any other toppings you like really! I haven't tried it baked yet, but apparently it tastes like spongy chocolate cake so I need to try that soon too ;)

Anyway! Here's the recipe ~ you can change the measurements if you like x

50g oats
150ml almond milk (depends how thick or runny you want it)
50g raspberries
50g blueberries or blackberries
A banana
1-2 teaspoon/tablespoon cacao powder (depends how chocolatey you want it;))
(Next time I make this I'm going to add a heaped teaspoon of cinnamon so you could do that too, I think it would taste really nice! But try this recipe first and then add what you like!)

Put the oats and milk in a pan on the stove on a high heat and let it cook. You can add some of the berries in now, but leave some for on top. Then once it's started to bubble, turn the heat down a bit and add half the banana either chopped up in chunks or mashed. Stir well, then once it's almost finished add the cacao powder, and keep stirring so the porridge goes a chocolatey colour :) then once it's reached the desired thickness you like, pour in a bowl and top with the rest of the banana and the berries.



{ I left a little bit of cacao powder and added a tiny bit of boiling water to it in a cup, mixed and then poured it over the porridge :) so yum! Don't make it too runny though!}

You can honestly have any toppings with this and you can change the recipe to whatever you like! Soon I'm going to make chocolate orange porridge, cacao and caramel porridge and cacao raspberry baked oats topped with almond/cashew butter, so keep your eyes peeled:) hope you're all okay and please tell me if you like this recipe!
