This extra thick and creamy, stovetop peanut butter chocolate oatmeal tastes like dessert but is made with healthy ingredients you can go ahead and enjoy for breakfast. To make this recipe you’ll need rolled oats, cocoa powder, chocolatevegan protein powder, sea salt, chia seeds, banana and peanut butter. This delicious chocolate oatmeal is vegan, gluten-free, refined sugar-free and high in protein and fibre.
Extra Thick Chocolate Oatmeal
If you like a traditional porridge-consistency to your oatmeal, follow the recipe and use 1 cup of water. However, if you want to try them super thick,somewhat like a stovetop version of my brownie batter overnight oats,try reducing the water down to 3/4 cup. Cooking them with less water results in a thick and creamy bowl of chocolate oatmeal with a flavour and texture that falls somewhere between brownie batter and cake batter. You can stir in a bit of almond milk once cooked to adjust the thickness.
Chocolate Oatmeal Topping Ideas
I went with a peanut butter topping but you can switch this chocolate oatmeal up any way you want with different toppings or add-ins. If you’ve got a well-stocked vegan pantry, you’re always ready with the best oatmeal toppings.Here are some ideas:
- chopped strawberries and shredded coconut
- chocolate chips and raspberries
- cacao nibs and peanuts
- dairy-free yogurt and fruit of choice
- almonds and shredded coconut
- walnuts and blueberries
- tahini and raspberries
- chia seed jam and banana
- cacao nibs and hemp seeds
- almond butter and chopped almonds

My kids love this recipe which I combine with another to make it more filling and nutritious without the protein powder. I add 1 cup riced cauliflower, 1T chia instead of 2, 1T hemp seeds, and 1T flax ground. They love it topped with banana and chocolate chips.

Hi Deryn! This oatmeal recipe is a winner! My kids always ask this for breakfast. I love that you gave us other options on what other toppings that would blend well with this recipe. I’ve already tried adding chopped strawberries and shredded coconut, and chia seed jam and banana but what they love most is the ‘chocolate chips and raspberries’ combo. 🙂
