    This Halloween Chocolate Oatmeal is perfect for a spooky morning! Fun for kids (and adults like me). It’s vegan, high protein and fiber. What I love about this recipe is how effortless and simple is to make it on the microwave!

    This Halloween Chocolate Oatmeal is one of the easiest of all recipes and can be made in one go. I am sure you have all the stuff needed for the oatmeal’s base. The ingredients I used were: rolled oats, unsweetened cacao powder, chocolate protein powder, salt, unsweetened almond milk and water. It’s obvious that the decoration of the topping will take more time but to join the Halloween vibes it doesn’t come bad!

    This recipe is a pure representation that oatmeal shouldn’t be bland or boring. You just need to use the right ingredients! I frequently make microwave oatmeal in the morning, I use this recipe almost every day, just in this time with a spooky decoration.

    Oatmeal is a great source of complex carbohydrates. Complex carbohydrates are slowly digested into sugars, which will keep your blood sugar level stabilized throughout the day.

    What ingredients do you need to make this Halloween Chocolate Oatmeal?

    The list:

    • Rolled oats – For this recipe, I used rolled oats because I love the “chewy” consistency that it gives. But you can also use quick oats in case you like a “porridge” consistency. If Gluten-fee, make sure to use a certified brand.
    • Milk of choice – I used unsweetened almond milk but you can use any other kind of plant-based or dairy milk. The type of milk won’t affect the flavor of the recipe.
    • Cacao powder – Preferably unsweetened, because we will be adding sweetener and if you add a flavored protein powder, that’s usually already sweetened!
    • Chocolate protein powder – The protein powder is completely optional, but I like to add it for the extra amount of protein.
    • Pinch of salt – So important on chocolate recipes because it enhances the flavor like crazy!
    • Water
    • Cacao nibs – For the legs of our spider!
    • White Chocolate Chips – We will be using only 2 chips! As the will be the spider’s eyes. Replace for edible eyes as well.
    • Chocolate frosting – I used Betty Crocker Chocolate frosting to make the pupils of the spider!
    • Greek yogurt – Any other plain yogurt works as well. We will be adding it on top of our oatmeal to create the “white background” of the spiderweb.
    • Oreo – Of course, the body of our spider.
    • Chocolate Sauce – I used Smuckers sugar-free chocolate sauce to make the spiderweb

    • Topping
    1. First, cover oatmeal base with greek or plain yogurt.
    2. Then, make a spiral shape with the sugar-free chocolate sauce and with a toothpick start to make lines from the edge to the center leaving a slightly separation between each other until finishing the whole circle.
    3. After that, place an oreo on the center and add cacao nibs to make the “legs” of the spider.
    4. Finally, add 2 white chocolate chips for the “eyes” of the spider and with the chocolate frosting draw a dot on the center to make the “pupils“.

    How to eat this oatmeal bowl?

    • Alone: This oatmeal bowl has literally all the goodies in one!
    • Coffee (my personal choice): For a bitter combination and neutralize the sweetness. I would go for an iced coffee with extra oat milk but if you prefer a hot coffee, go for it!
    • Tea: If you don’t like coffee, no problem, any type of tea tastes great!

    Substitutes and notes:

    • No rolled oats? Use quick oats! The consistency may change to a porridge. To keep the thick texture add less water.
    • No chocolate protein powder? Replace with 1/3 mashed banana or 1 tbsp liquid sweetener of choice (maple, agave, date syrup or honey)
    • For the White Chocolate chips: In my case, I added sugar-free. You can also replace with edible eyes.
