Notes
- you may make this less sweet and add 1/4 cup of maple syrup.
- use gluten-free rolled oats if needed. Quick oats work too but you will need 2 cups less milk and it will cook much quicker than rolled oats.
- you can cut down on the calories by using sugar-free chocolate and dairy-free milk. Consider using unsweetened almond milk.
