I think we can all agree that the best part of oatmeal is the toppings.
This one might just be my favorite: blueberries, hazelnuts, melted dark chocolate, banana and toasted coconut. I haven’t always been a fan of hazelnuts, but they’re SO good in oatmeal… I just couldn’t help myself. Plus, they’re even better with chocolate and coconut.
This is another delicious combination: bananas, almonds, cacao nibs and kiwi. Something about kiwi and chocolate is unexpectedly amazing.
I think this one is my favorite: pomegranate seeds, blueberries, strawberries, banana, melted dark chocolate, blackberries and kiwi. What’s so great about chocolate oatmeal is how much like dessert it is.
This oatmeal is:
Deliciously creamy
Perfectly sweet
Shockingly healthy
Wonderfully chocolatey
