Tip
Not all cocoa powders are bitter, as there are different types available that vary in flavour. Natural cocoa powder is more bitter and intense than Dutch-processed cocoa powder, which has been treated with an alkalising agent to reduce acidity. Choose the type of cocoa powder that best suits your palate. Cook your porridge over low heat to help ensure that it cooks evenly and does not burn on the bottom of the saucepan. Remember to stir it every so often to avoid clumps but do not go overboard. When it comes to knowing when it is done, aim for a thick and creamy consistency with a soft but not mushy texture. Overcooking can result in a gummy or gluey consistency.

Deliciously sweet toppings with a bit of crunch
No porridge is complete without a generous helping of toppings, and this recipe delivers a variety of sweet and crunchy options. From fresh fruit to seeds, each bite is a delicious combination of textures and flavours. We suggest you try it with a dollop of vanilla skyr, some sweet banana slices and diced dates, and a light sprinkle of hemp seeds and cocoa bits for added crunch.
The vanilla skyr adds a creamy and tangy element to the dish, which helps balance out the sweetness of the bananas and dates. The cocoa bits add an extra hit of chocolatey goodness and a satisfying crunch that complements the creaminess of the porridge and pairs wonderfully with the mild, nutty flavour of the hemp seeds.
Make it your own
If you prefer a sweeter taste, you can add a natural sweetener, such as honey or maple syrup. And do you need a different chocolate flavour? The amount and type of cocoa powder will affect the intensity. If you prefer a more subtle chocolate flavour, use less cocoa powder, or try Dutch-processed cocoa powder. If you love chocolate, feel free to add extra cocoa powder for a more intense flavour or add some chopped dark chocolate when boiling the porridge to let it melt and become even more intense.
Toppings are another way to add flavour and texture. Experiment with different fruits, nuts, or seeds to create your perfect bowl of chocolate porridge. Some popular options include chopped almonds, chia seeds, or shredded coconut.
Finally, adjusting the texture can also make a big difference. If you prefer a creamier result, use a higher ratio of liquid to oats and add more milk or water. If you like a thicker porridge, use less liquid or more oats.
