This rich, creamy vegan hot chocolate recipe takes just 5 minutes and uses simple ingredients you likely have in your pantry! Here are the secrets to a dairy free rendition of this cozy drink.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 2 cups regular oat milk
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch cinnamon
  • ¼ cup (1 ½ ounces) dark chocolate chips or chopped chocolate*

Instructions

  1. Place a saucepan over medium heat. Add the cocoa powder and ¼ cup of the milk and whisk until the cocoa powder is mostly integrated. Whisk in the remaining milk until smooth.
  2. Add the remaining ingredients and heat over medium heat until the chocolate is melted, about 2 minutes. Do not boil. Serve immediately, garnished with whipped cream or marshmallows.

Notes

*You can omit for a great cup of hot cocoa with a lighter flavor (and less calories). But the chocolate really adds richness in flavor. We highly recommend it!
