Chocolate porridge with Nutella
Description
Chocolate porridge with Nutella combines basic ingredients like oatmeal, milk, water, and cocoa powder into a simmered breakfast dish. The oats cook slowly over low heat, stirred continually to develop a creamy, smooth consistency without lumps. Brown sugar and salt enhance flavor balance, while cocoa powder adds deep chocolate notes according to taste preference. Once cooked, a layer of Nutella is spooned on top, melting slightly in the warm porridge and lending its characteristic hazelnut and chocolate spread flavors.
The texture is soft and creamy with a gentle chocolate undertone. The preparation focuses on controlled simmering to achieve the desired consistency and prevent burning.
Chocolate porridge with Nutella can be served immediately for breakfast or a snack, providing a comforting and filling option with both whole grain and chocolate elements. The optional Nutella topping adds richness and a familiar sweetness.
Ingredients
- ½ cup oatmeal
- ½ cup milk
- 1 cup water
- 2-3 teaspoons cocoa powder preferably 100% pure cocoa. For a milder chocolate flavour, use two teaspoons, for a more intense chocolate flavour, use three teaspoons.
- 1½ teaspoon brown sugar optional
- ¼ teaspoon salt or to taste
- 1-2 tablespoons Nutella optional and to taste
Instructions
- Place the oats, milk, water, cocoa powder, brown sugar and salt in a medium saucepan and stir to combine.
