Cook Cocoa Oatmeal
Start by pouring the cashew milk into a saucepan and heating it over medium-high until it just starts to boil. Once it’s bubbling, stir in the oats and lower the heat to a gentle simmer. Mix in the cocoa powder, a pinch of salt, and some cinnamon until everything is nicely combined. Add a splash of maple syrup to sweeten it to your taste. Let it cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Then, toss in the chocolate chips and keep cooking for another minute or two until the oatmeal is creamy and thickened to your liking. Serve it up in a bowl and top with slices of banana. Enjoy!
