This healthy hot chocolate recipe is naturally sweetened, but you'd never know just by tasting it. It's just as fast to prepare as the store-bought packets!

Instructions
- Combine all of the ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat and stir, using a whisk to break up any lumps. Keep stirring until it's smooth and reaches your desired warm temperature. (There is no need to bring it to a full boil.)
- Carefully taste the hot chocolate and make any necessary adjustments. For a darker chocolate flavor, add an extra dash of cocoa powder. For more sweetness, add an extra splash of maple syrup.
- Pour the hot chocolate into a mug right away and serve warm. Top with coconut whipped cream and chocolate shavings, if desired, or any other toppings you love.
Notes

- Milk Note: This recipe should work with any milk you love, except homemade oat milk, which can become slimy when heated. (Store-bought oat milk should be fine, though!)
