A warm, cozy, and indulgent oatmeal bowl featuring creamy oats soaked in rich dark chocolate, topped with fresh strawberries. Perfect for a romantic and nourishing breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (90g) old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 2 cups (480ml) milk of choice (whole, almond, oat, or coconut milk)
  • 2 oz (55g) dark chocolate bar (around 70% cacao), chopped
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 1–2 tablespoons (15-30ml) maple syrup or honey (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds or flax seeds (optional)
  • Dark chocolate chips or shavings for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Gather and prep your ingredients: Measure 1 cup of rolled oats, slice 1 cup of fresh strawberries, and chop 2 oz of dark chocolate.
  2. Heat 2 cups of milk in a medium saucepan over medium heat until just simmering, small bubbles forming around edges but not boiling.
  3. Stir in oats and a pinch of salt. Lower heat to medium-low and stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Cook for 7-10 minutes until oats soften and absorb most of the milk.
  4. Stir in chopped dark chocolate and continue stirring for 1-2 minutes until chocolate melts and blends smoothly into the oats.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and maple syrup or honey to taste.
  6. Optionally, stir in chia or flax seeds for added nutrition and texture.
  7. Spoon oatmeal into serving bowls and top with sliced fresh strawberries and optional dark chocolate chips or shavings. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use medium to medium-low heat to avoid burning milk. Stir gently and consistently for smooth texture. Add a splash of milk if oats become too thick before fully cooked. For vegan version, use plant-based milk and dairy-free chocolate, and swap honey for maple syrup. Frozen strawberries can be used if thawed and drained. Finely chop chocolate for even melting.
