Servings: 2
- 1 ½ cups of skim milk 360 ml
- ½ cup of oats 45 g
- 1 tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder 6 g
- 2 packets of Splenda or to taste
- ½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- ½ tablespoon of chocolate chips 7 g
- A pinch of salt optional
Prepare the cocoa mixture: In a medium-sized bowl or container, add 1 ½ cups of skim milk. Then, whisk in the cocoa powder, Splenda, and cinnamon. Continue whisking until the mixture is smooth and well-combined, ensuring that the cocoa dissolves completely.
Add the oats: Once the milk mixture is homogeneous, stir in the oats. Make sure the oats are fully submerged in the cocoa mixture.
Chill: Cover the bowl or container with a lid or plastic wrap. Let the oats sit in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or, ideally, overnight to absorb the liquid and soften.
Top and serve: Before serving, sprinkle with chocolate chips and, if desired, a pinch of salt. Optionally, add more cinnamon or a drizzle of honey for extra flavor.
