Discussion & Rating
This recipe is so damn good - I make it multiple times a week! I actually omitted the yogurt at first, but once I did add it, I noticed it really rounds out the other flavors.
It was so quick to make and felt like a cheat meal but wasn’t really so I want to add this to my regulars 😍 love coffee and Chocolate combo with oats
Delicious 😋 I left out the coffee because I’m not a big coffee fan however it was still amazing. I am stuffed! I won’t need to eat again for hours.
I recently discovered your site & although I’m not vegan I just adore eating a plant based diet as I feel it is so nourishing & tasty.
You are definitely bringing out best that nature can offer with your excellent recipes!
I love that you focus on all aspects of health & not just how we can feed ourselves with yummy plants. Your YouTube videos are so informative - educating people about good nutrition should be taught in schools. Sadly it is not, but thankfully we have people like you guys at Puck Up Limes sharing your wisdom with the rest of us. Thank you!
My son loves this. Minus the coffee, tastes like Nutella. So pleased I found you on YouTube
This is my new favourite oatmeal recipe! I didnt have hazelnuts and it was still delicious as is (obviously, it's chocolate). I chopped up frozen mango to mix in and it helped to make it sweeter. I'm excited to mix and match fruits and nuts with this one, and I would also add just a bit less cocoa powder for personal preference😊
I have NEVER used coffee granules in ANY dish ever and never got to try it because i remember that in my childhood i hated it but THIS recipe changed my whole outlook on it ! What a amazballs recipe !
Such a nice, comforting and intense recipe. It's going to be definitely a weekend treat! I didn't use any sweeteners and the banana (very ripe one I must say) did the job 🍌 maybe next time, I will put less cocoa powder though

Very good
This dish tastes absolutely phenomenal and is extremely satisfying. It keeps me full for a while and it's now in my rotation of breakfast options.
This is soooo delicious, chocolatey and comforting!
In fact, it reminds me very much of my grandmother's stovetop chocolate pudding. (Homemade, not boxed. I suspect it was a recipe from the Great Depression.) So thank you for the blast from the last as well as a filling and warm breakfast for these cooler Canberra mornings. ☺️
I love the fact that you have the option to change the number of portions, works perfectly when preparing things for one.
Keep up the great work, you make such delicious recipes.
It is awesome 👌
This is the second PUL oatmeal recipe I have tried…with success! I have never been an oatmeal fan; however, this recipe is super-delicious and versatile. I suffer from SIBO (small intestine bacterial overgrowth) and am allergic to chicken eggs. That being said, I have skipped breakfast for many years. Now that I am well into my 40s and the body changes that go with that, breakfast has become non-negotiable and FIBER is a must. Thank you VERY much for this recipe! It is filling and the cocoa powder makes it feel like a hearty dessert. I like that it isn’t too sweet and that I can add-in different fresh/dried fruits to adjust the sweetness. Another bonus to this recipe is how long I feel satiated after eating. Part of the issue with SIBO is impaired gut motility, so my doctor has me waiting 4 hours between meals (no snacking). This allows my sluggish system enough time to move a meal through properly. Usually I am really hungry 2 hours after breakfast, but with these oatmeal recipes I feel satisfied the whole 4 hours. I appreciate the inspiration and education that PUL provides. Your videos and blog posts really make plant based eating feel exciting and achievable. Thank you!
This is the greatest oatmeal I've ever made. It's the impedimy of dessert for breakfast and so quick and easy! As a chocolate lover it's my favourite go to breakfast! Thank you guys so much for this recipe <3
Hello! THANK YOU for adding allergen filters - finding plant based recipes online can be tricky with a tree nut allergy, so it helps a lot!
Just wanted to let you know that when we filtered out for tree nuts on your recipe page, this recipe still showed up! Don't know how your filtering/labelling works, just a heads up :)
If im using instant oats how much milk do i need to add?
I make this oatmeal every morning lately. I finally found a breakfast that keeps me full almost the entire morning (in comparison with my former breakfast, which was a small portion of muesli with some soy milk). Although I have to say, I had to reduce the amount of cacao powder because the first try was so strong in cacao it almost made me nauseous, and because I'm lazy I never put the roasted hazelnut and hazelnut butter (which I don't have), nor the banana... Well, I actually make a mocha oatmeal hahaha But it's delicious! And the coconut yoghurt takes this to a whole new level, I really love it. Thanks for the recipe, I will try to make it accurately (with the hazelnuts and everything) someday lol
Just tried this recipe and it tasted just like it looks- decadent and dessert like. I made it for my partner who's usually not a fan of sweet oatmeal and he loved it too.
Will definitely be making this for ease, taste & richness. I felt that the dark chocolate topping made it a bit too bitter for my liking but with yogurt & bananas, it balanced out nicely.
I love this recipe so much! I highly recommend adding a sliced banana at the beginning (maybe instead of maple syrup) and letting it cook until it caramelizes. Thank you so much for your inspirational recipes!
Nutella-esque but without the insane amount of sugar. Love this. I used maybe half the sweetener and it was still delicious. I saw someone post about using cacao nibs, which I think I’ll try to help reduce the sugar even more (in place of the chopped chocolate - eating lots of sugar too often sends me on a downward spiral). This was super filling. Will make again. Thank you!
I will make this recipy again and again, really good.
Like eating a melted brownie for breakfast. So delicious. My chocolate obsessed 3 and 4 year olds loved it!
This is so good - there is just one problem - its too good!! I made a big batch and ate the whole lot myself in one go! ;)
Thank you so much for your work! All recipes I tried turned out amazing, wholesome and delicious! Thank you also for mentioning not only cups but grams, it is really helpful!
Loved this porridge today for breakfast)) Coffee in a bowl isn't that a dream!?😍😍😍
Sooo good! And usually not a fan of oatmeal, but this ticked all the boxes for me. Definitely happy that I kept the hazelnuts for the texture! Only thing is, this is very decadent so even after using the recipe for 1 serving I still had a lot left over.. so next time I'll use half of that (if the recipe still works then?)
Dessert for breakfast indeed! So yummy! Super kid friendly too.
Just made it, it's so delicious and this is by far the best oatmeal I've made! Can't wait to try out the rest of the oatmeals! Thank you so much 💝
Just love it ! The topping added to oatmeal make it so tasty and decadent ! A great way to start the day and make my boydriend look at my breakfast with interested eyes (he is not found of oatmeal usually).
Honestly the best oatmeal I have had in a loooong time. When I tried I I was like "it can't be real!" Thank you😍
Thank you so much for your marvellous holiday oatmeals!! This is heavenly for any chocolate lover 😍 Although it’s quite dense, I enjoyed this warm breakfast slowly whilst looking out on a cold, white winter morning (20-30 cm of snow)☃️
I used chopped dark chocolate with an orange flavour that worked very well with the coffee. Considering the amount of bitter ingredients, it’s necessary to add some maple syrup for a proper balance. I topped my first mocha oatmeal with banana, little bit of chopped pecans, and Greek yoghurt. I’ll exclude nuts next time, as the chocolate was sufficiently filling🤣
Made this recipe the very first time on xmas morning for 7 people. Everyone loved the results! Tripled the recipe and reduced the cocoa (didn't have cacoa) powder, as this seemed plenty chocolatey. I used 2/3 cup cocoa instead of a full cup. Also reduced the instant coffee accordingly, using 5 instead of 6 tsp. I personally loved topping this with almond butter, plain full-fat Greek yogurt and a smattering of cacoa nibs - so good.
I looved this!! Hazelnut, chocolate, coffee, coconut, oats; what was there not to like?? 😁 It gave me a good excuse to make some homemade hazelnut butter which I am a huge fan of and, as oats are my favourite thing to eat for breakfast, I always welcome different ways to prepare them. I will be making this breakfast again without a doubt!! ❤
Very rich and delicious! I love the strong chocolate flavour, thank you for all the yummy oatmeal recipes!
So delicious. Added grated apple as sweetener then topped with natural yoghurt and a teaspoon of nut butter
This recipe calls for 1 tablespoons of maple syrup per serving, which is = 3.5 teaspoons of added sugar. How's that different from eating boxed sugared cereal or cocoa puffs?
Thank you for the delicious-looking recipe, I will try it out first thing tomorrow morning! However, something seems very off with your nutrition info: almost triple the amount of iron compared to calcium? 200 grams(!) of magnesium? 3 grams(!) of zink? 🙃
To me, this is the best oatmeal breakfast bowl, I didn't even try it out but will definitely try it.
This was delicious, thank you!
Incredible as always! You are such an inspiration
Semplicemente fantastica! Ti adoro 🥰🥰🔝🔝
