Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups unsweetened oat milk
  • 3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 to 3 tbsp maple syrup
  • Pinch of salt
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract (optional)

Method
 

  1. In a small saucepan, combine the oat milk, cocoa powder, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, and salt. Whisk until smooth and no lumps remain.
  2. Place over medium heat and whisk frequently just until steaming, about 4 minutes. Do not let it boil. Taste and stir in the remaining maple syrup if desired.
  3. Remove from heat, add vanilla if using, and pour into mugs. Serve hot.

Notes

Oat milk gives the creamiest finish, but any unsweetened plant milk works. If the cocoa clumps, keep whisking off the heat before turning on the burner—it will smooth out faster that way.
