5 Minute Oat Milk Hot Chocolate with Tahini
This dreamy, dairy free oat milk hot chocolate is a nourishing everyday treat! Made with creamy oat milk, (optional) tahini and cocoa powder for a rich, flavourful hot cocoa that is so easy to whip up!
Equipment
- immersion blender blender, or just a whisk! Your choice
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened oat milk or your favourite non-dairy milk
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder or raw cacao powder for extra antioxidants
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
- tiny pinch salt if tahini is unsalted
- 1 tablespoon tahini optional but encouraged!
- maple syrup or dates, to taste (try 1 tablespoon)
Optional flavour enhancers (choose one)
- ½ teaspoon rose water
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon great for masking bitterness in tahini
- ¼ teaspoon cardamom one of my FAVE spices
Instructions
- Stovetop directions: heat oat milk in a small pot over medium heat until just steaming. Turn off heat, add cocoa powder, tahini, sweetener, vanilla, salt and rose water if using and whisk vigorously until smooth. Alternately, you can use an immersion blender...you'll need to if using dates!
- Milk frother directions: heat oat milk in milk frother and add to a blender with cocoa powder, tahini, sweetener, vanilla, salt and rose water if using. blend until smooth, about 1 minute.
Notes
Low FODMAP note: Depending where you live, oat milk is or isn't low FODMAP in a half cup serving. Annoying, I know!
So to make this low FODMAP, choose macadamia or almond milk and sweeten with maple syrup, not dates!
