# Steps To Follow:
01 -
In a saucepan, combine oats, milk, cocoa powder, and sweetener (if using). Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring often until creamy. If adding chocolate protein powder, stir it in after removing from heat to avoid clumping.

# Notes and Tips:

To make it vegan, use plant-based milk and check that all ingredients are dairy-free.
