Chocolate porridge with Nutella
Chocolate porridge with Nutella is a warm oatmeal breakfast made by cooking oats with milk, water, and cocoa powder. The mixture is gently simmered to create a creamy, smooth texture. Nutella spread is added on top to melt into the porridge, providing a rich chocolate-hazelnut flavor contrast to the slightly sweetened oats. This dish suits those who enjoy a comforting chocolate taste in a morning meal.
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.
- Over medium heat, bring the ingredients to a boil and then immediately turn the heat to low.For the creamiest porridge, continuously stir with the back of a wooden spoon or a spurtle (if you have one) for approximately 10-12 minutes. Maintain low heat, aiming for a gentle simmer throughout.
- Once the consistency of the porridge is to your liking, remove it from the heat.
- Spoon into a bowl and top with Nutella. Allow the Nutella to slowly melt into the warm porridge.
