…for many variations of oatmeal! Candy canes are so synonymous with the holiday season, and I knew I needed to try my own chocolate peppermint version. I saw these awesome candy canes at Whole Foods made by Hammond’s Candies, and although there were some fun flavors, I went with the classic.
I got my ingredients all lined up and ready to be combined for a warm, delicious Sunday brunch.
Ingredients:
1/2 old fashioned rolled oats
1/2 T chia seeds
1 c milk of choice
1/2 T carob or unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 t real vanilla extract
1/2 bar dark chocolate
1/4 of large peppermint candy cane
several slices of fresh banana
Directions:
Combine oats, milk, chia, and carob. Cook until oatmeal reaches desired consistency. Turn off heat and add vanilla. Top with chocolate, peppermint, banana, and enjoy!
Sweet purr-baby photo bomb optional. 😉
