Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup Rolled Oats
  • 1 cup Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1 tablespoon Peanut Butter
  • 1 tablespoon Cocoa Powder
  • 1-2 teaspoons Maple Syrup or Honey (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon Chocolate Chips (optional)

Combine Ingredients

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the rolled oats, milk, peanut butter, and cocoa powder. Stir well to ensure the peanut butter and cocoa powder are evenly distributed.

Microwave

Microwave on high for 2-3 minutes. Check the porridge after 2 minutes and stir. If it's not thick enough, continue microwaving in 30-second intervals until it reaches your desired consistency. Be careful, as the porridge can bubble over.

Add Sweetener and Toppings

Carefully remove the bowl from the microwave (it will be hot!). Stir in maple syrup or honey to taste, if desired. Top with chocolate chips, if using.

Serve

Let the porridge cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your warm and satisfying chocolate peanut butter porridge!
