Vegan Chocolate Oatmeal

Vegan Chocolate Oatmeal is 4 ingredients, top 8 free, sugar-free, and a sinfully healthy way to start the morning.
Who doesn’t want dessert for breakfast? Seriously! What if I told you this dessert for breakfast is sugar-free, dairy-free, gluten-free, vegan, and not to mention top 8 free! Hello! You just found your match, and it so happens to be the chocolate breakfast of chocolate breakfasts. Meet vegan chocolate oatmeal. This stuff is three things: wicked good, makes all your chocolate dreams come true, and only four ingredients (water, coconut milk, rolled oats, and cocoa).
Let’s Talk Chocolate
This oatmeal isn’t very sweet. The sweetness relies on the sweetness of the coconut milk you use. The chocolatiness (making that a word!) relies on your cocoa!
I never realised how much of a good thing cocoa could be. In November, I won a basket of Rodelle products from a giveaway hosted by Nut Free Wok. One item inside that package was cocoa, and well let’s just say it changed my whole relationship with cocoa. From the moment I opened the container, I was overcome by the smell of chocolate! This cocoa does not disappoint.
Rodelle’s cocoa packs the perfect chocolate punch, and it’s allergy-friendly. Can I get a ‘say what!’? So if your cocoa is running a little low, I would highly recommend Rodelle. We, allergy folks, are so lucky to have so many delicious products available to us nowadays, eh!
Now the only question I pose to you is: “what will you be serving up tomorrow morning?”

This is chocolate coconut perfection! I think I’d be tempted to top it with a sprinkle of sea salt too.
I wish my stomach loved oats as much as I did! But I don’t always let That stop my 😛
This looks like a great, decadent dish for breakfast!
Thanks Chandice. It is a great way to ‘treat’ yourself in the morning.
I’ve never been an oatmeal fan (so mushy–it’s a texture thing for me) But I’d totally be willing to try it if it’s CHOCOLATE.
I love all these whole 30 recipes. I used to add chocolate protein powder to my oatmeal, never thought about using coco powder and coconut milk!
Love the addition of coconut milk. My husband is lactose sensitive and I am constantly seeking recipes that we can all eat together as a family. Thanks for the inspiration!
Uhh, I will be serving chocolate oatmeal! I eat oatmeal every single day for breakfast (at least for first breakfast) and have never thought to put cacao in it! Ridiculous. I’m so happy to have seen this recipe and I’ll be trying it right away!
What a tasty oatmeal recipe – Love the addition of coconut milk!
Thanks Christine.
You had me at chocolate! But sugar-free? OMG I need to make this. Have never been much of an oatmeal gal, but that is about to change… oh and definitely pinning to my vegan board. Great recipe and I can’t wait to try it!
I hope you enjoy it! I think it’s sweet enough, but my hubby likes it with a little maple syrup.
Chocolate for breakfast sounds perfect to me!!! I love this idea for a healthy, treat-like meal. Looks delicious?
It’s fun to treat yourself in the morning with chocolate and it’s a plus when it’s ‘guilt-free’.
Mmm this looks like such an awesome breakfast! I love how creamy it looks from the coconut milk.
Thanks Sasha! This is one breakfast I dream about waking up for 😛
Wow! I finally did find my match thnx! 🙂 I’ve been looking for a vegan chocolate oatmeal for AGES and I finally found one! Totally going to try this recipe in the next week. Have a nice day!
I hope you like it! I have a new vegan chocolate oatmeal recipe in the works that I will hopefully share soon 😀
