Chocolate Peanut Butter Oatmeal Bowl - what's not to love? Creamy chocolate oatmeal topped with fresh fruit, natural peanut butter, and a crumbled cookie for a breakfast that feels more like a dessert. If you've never tried chocolate flavoured oatmeal before, you are seriously missing out. It's rich, cosy, and feels so much more indulgent than a regular bowl of oats.
There are a few different ways to make chocolate oatmeal, but I like to keep things simple and lighter by using chocolate almond milk instead of cocoa powder or melted chocolate. It gives the oats the perfect chocolate flavour without needing lots of extra sweetener or added calories. Just cook the oats with the almond milk, a little water, and a pinch of sea salt and it's ready in just a few minutes.

Ingredients Notes
To make this recipe you will need the following ingredients:
- Rolled oats: Rolled oats create a creamy hearty oatmeal with the perfect texture. They cook quickly while still keeping a little bite.
- Chocolate almond milk: Adds all the chocolate flavour to the oatmeal without needing cocoa powder or melted chocolate. It also keeps the oats creamy and lighter.
- Water: Helps loosen the oats slightly as they cook so the texture stays smooth and creamy.
- Fine sea salt: Just a small pinch helps balance the sweetness and enhances the chocolate flavour.
- Natural peanut butter: Adds creaminess, healthy fats, and that classic chocolate peanut butter combination. Crunchy or smooth both work well.
- Banana: Adds natural sweetness and pairs perfectly with the chocolate and peanut butter flavours.
- Raspberries: Add freshness and a slight tartness that balances the creamy oatmeal.
- Blueberries: Bring little bursts of sweetness and extra colour to the bowl.
- Biscoff Lotus Cookie: adds a little crunch and makes the oatmeal feel even more like a treat. Crumble over just before serving.
Once you've gathered all the ingredients and prepared them accordingly, you're all set to create this easy and delightful recipe.

Variations and Substitutes
There are plenty of easy ways to adapt this chocolate peanut butter oatmeal bowl depending on what you have on hand.
- Swap the chocolate almond milk for regular almond milk, oat milk, soy milk, or dairy milk.
- Add cocoa powder or chocolate protein powder for an even richer chocolate flavour.
- Peanut butter can be replaced with almond butter, cashew butter, or Biscoff spread.
- Use strawberries, blackberries, cherries, sliced apple or any fruit you like instead of the berries and banana.
- Stir through chia seeds, flaxseed, or hemp hearts for extra fibre and protein.
- Add chopped nuts, granola, or coconut flakes for extra crunch.
- A Lotus Biscoff cookie works perfectly crumbled on top, but you could also use an Oreo Thin, chocolate chip cookie, digestive biscuit, graham cracker, ginger cookie, or shortbread.
- Swap the cookie topping for dark chocolate chips, cacao nibs, or crushed graham crackers.
- A drizzle of honey or maple syrup can be added if you prefer sweeter oats.
- For extra protein, stir through some Greek yoghurt or chocolate protein yoghurt before serving.
