Pour your oat milk into a microwave-safe cup and microwave for 45-60 seconds. (Alternatively, you can heat your oat milk in a small saucepan on the stovetop until it just starts to simmer.)
Pour rolled oats, maple syrup, cocoa powder, and salt into your bowl, and pour hot oat milk over top.
Stir thoroughly and let sit for about 5 minutes until the oats have soaked up most of the liquid.
Add your favorite toppings and enjoy!

Storage Tips
Oatmeal recipes are always best when you make them and enjoy them immediately. But if you can’t finish it up, you can store it to enjoy later or make delicious chocolate oatmeal cookies.
Fridge: Be sure to contain your chocolate oatmeal in an airtight container for freshness. You’ll have up to 5 days to enjoy the leftovers, though it’s definitely better the sooner you get to it.
Freeze: Freezing this recipe is another option, especially for meal prep or to use in baking. You can keep it for up to 3 months in there.
