"All you really need to do is cook your oats with your preferred liquid, ideally something on the creamy side. You certainly could use water, but just like with standard hot cocoa, it will be better if you use whole milk or a non-dairy milk alternative like oatmilk or almond milk. Once the oats are plump and soft, you can stir in your favorite brand of hot chocolate mix to taste."
"Add it a bit at a time, stirring to combine well, and tasting as you go. This will let you dial in just how much hot chocolate flavor you want to add, without things getting too sweet. Tossing a pinch of salt in the pot is also a good idea, both to balance the sweetness and to enhance the chocolate flavor."
A hot chocolate–flavored oatmeal combines cooked oats with hot cocoa mix for a warming breakfast. Cook oats in a creamy liquid like whole milk, oatmilk, or almond milk for richer texture. Stir in hot chocolate mix once oats are plump and soft, adding the mix gradually and tasting to control sweetness. A pinch of salt enhances and balances chocolate flavor. Leftover prepared hot chocolate can be used as cooking liquid for oats, diluting with milk if needed to adjust richness. Flavor level and sweetness can be customized by brand, amount of mix, and incremental tasting.
