Healthy Hot Cocoa Recipe
Enjoy a decadent mug of peanut butter hot chocolate made from scratch in less than 10 minutes. It’s so much better than a prepackaged cocoa mix!
Servings: 1 cup
Ingredients
- ¾ cup Unsweetened Almond Milk or milk of choice
- 1 tablespoon Cocoa Powder unsweetened
- ½ tablespoon Peanut Butter or nut butter of choice
- ½ teaspoon Cinnamon
- Stevia to taste or sweetener of choice
- Optional toppings: Marshmallows dairy-free as needed
Instructions
- In a small pot, add all ingredients and bring to medium heat 5 minutes.
- Whisk together the ingredients until fully incorporated and steaming hot. Serve, add optional toppings and enjoy!
Notes
- Keep the heat on medium or medium-low heat and whisk frequently to combine the ingredients without separating or clumping.
- Add the stevia at the end and taste test as you mix to adjust the sweetness to your liking.
- The hot chocolate will keep for 1-2 days in the refrigerator, but it will need to be stirred vigorously when reheating to ensure the texture is smooth and creamy.
