Chocolate Raspberry Oatmeal
If you are craving something decadent and ultra chocolatey but still healthy enough for breakfast, this vegan chocolate raspberry oatmeal is exactly what you need. It is rich, creamy and deeply chocolate flavored, yet made with simple plant-based ingredients that will leave you feeling satisfied and energized rather than sluggish.
What makes this oatmeal so special is the combination of intense cocoa and juicy raspberries. The chocolate base is smooth and comforting, while the berries add a fresh, slightly tart contrast that balances the sweetness perfectly. Every spoonful feels indulgent, but it is naturally sweetened and completely dairy-free.
This recipe is perfect for slow weekend mornings when you want something cozy and nourishing, but it is also quick enough to make on busy weekdays. In less than ten minutes you can have a warm bowl of chocolatey goodness on the table – no fancy ingredients or complicated steps required.
Another reason to love this vegan chocolate raspberry oatmeal is how easy it is to customize. You can use any kind of nondairy milk you like, swap the almond butter for peanut butter or cashew butter, or sprinkle some chopped dark chocolate or choc chips on top for an even more dessert-like experience. If you like your oatmeal a little thinner, simply add a splash more plant milk at the end.
This oatmeal is also ideal for meal prep. You can cook a bigger batch, store it in the fridge and gently reheat it throughout the week. It thickens as it sits, so just stir in a bit of extra milk when reheating and it will be perfectly creamy again.
Whether you enjoy it plain or loaded with toppings like fresh raspberries, soy yogurt or crunchy granola, this vegan chocolate raspberry oatmeal is pure comfort in a bowl. Let me know what you think in the comments!

Notes
As for the sweetener: If you have it, a tablespoon of powdered date sugar works great here and means the oatmeal is naturally sweetened. Otherwise, a drizzle of maple syrup is so good, too.
As for the amount of plant-based milk: I like my oatmeal on the thicker side, but if you prefer it more runny, use more milk. It’s a good idea to start with a smaller amount and add more as you go. Note that the oatmeal will thicken after it’s done.
