Chocolate Oats Porridge
(Super-easy, kid-friendly, quick, and healthy chocolate oats recipe)
I recently saw some fresh strawberries dangling from the branches on a farm. I fell in love with these beauties!
Fresh produce always inspires me to do something good. I wanted to incorporate the strawberries into a recipe just as they were, so I had only one option—to use them as a topping! I thought, “How about strawberries on top of chocolate something”? BOOM! … it struck me! Chocolate oats porridge with strawberry topping! You can make it any time of the day, but having it as breakfast is ideal. It can be made in no time and requires the bare minimum of ingredients. It’s a hit with kids too!
So, try this porridge and let me know how you like it!

Notes -
You can add melted chocolate instead of cocoa powder to this porridge. However, cocoa powder is the healthier option.
We use rolled oats for this recipe as they cook faster. You will easily get them in your local grocery store. If you want to buy them online, I have linked them in the ingredients section.
