    Oat Milk Hot Chocolate

    Published: Jun 19, 2023 by Radwa ·

    Super creamy Oat Milk Hot Chocolate! I've never made hot chocolate with oat milk before; I've always used whole milk.

    I wanted to try non-dairy milk this time just to see if it is better this way, and here we are.

    A big cup of oat milk hot chocolate topped with marshmallows.

    Oat Milk Hot Chocolate Recipe

    This recipe is a vegan, dairy-free beverage made with simple ingredients in less than 5 minutes, and it is SO delicious!

    This is the drink I need when looking for some warm and sweet comfort on a rainy day.

    The taste is chocolaty, rich and mildly sweet, while the texture of this drink is super creamy.

    Oat milk is my favourite dairy-free milk to make lots of vegan beverages because it is creamy and has a slightly sweet flavour.

    However, you may use other non-dairy milk such as coconut milk, soy milk or almond milk.

    Two cups of oat milk hot chocolate topped with marshmallows.

    You'll Need

    Oat Milk. This non-dairy milk provides a rich texture for this recipe. I prefer to use unsweetened oat milk. However, if you use sweetened oat milk, you can skip the honey in this recipe.

    Cocoa Powder. I use unsweetened cocoa powder.

    Semi-sweet Chocolate. I use semi-sweet chocolate because it is less bitter than dark chocolate.

    Honey. I LOVE to sweeten my beverages with honey. Use maple syrup in case honey is unavailable; both will work fine.

    Marshmallows and Chocolate Sauce. My favourite toppings for hot chocolate are marshmallows and chocolate sauce. I used vegan products.

    “See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.”

    How To Make The Recipe

    step by step instructions for how to make the recipe.

    One: In a saucepan, whisk oat milk, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, salt and honey over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, until combined and smooth.

    Tip: Stir the oat milk mixture well in the saucepan to prevent the cocoa powder from forming lumps.

    Two: Once the mixture starts to bubble, add the chocolate and whisk until fully melted.

    Three: Turn off the heat and pour the hot chocolate in cups, garnish with marshmallows and a drizzle of chocolate sauce, then serve.

    Tip: To reheat, pour It into a small saucepan and reheat it over medium low heat on the stovetop. Or pour in a microwave-safe mug and reheat in the microwave.

    Serve it with

    I like to serve this hot chocolate with chocolate oatmeal cookies!

    Aside from that, a slice of chocolate biscuit cake or Oreo cheesecake bites is also an excellent choice to serve with this drink.

    You may also serve it with Victoria Scones, Cookies and Cream Cinnamon Rolls or Pumpkin Pancakes.
