💚It's true! You can make healthier cinnamon rolls that still taste amazing, here's the recipe: ua-cam.com/video/e1wl7HDOd4I/v-deo.html
Thanks for the recipe
As a general rule and because it was only mentioned briefly: The best counter against bitterness is not sweetness but saltiness. So that's why the salt is so important in a hot chocolate to balance the natural bitterness of the chocolate :)
The oats in the hot chocolate were a surprise and an expectation at the same time :D
Couldn't have said it better myself😁
👍😂
Agreed!💚
"I just can't make anything without some oats" HA!
Came here to find this comment 😂
This is me hahahha i love oatsss
@@anaceciliaramirez2237 same same!
@@anaceciliaramirez2237 I think the real question is, who doesn’t?
I will join this gang I LOVE OATS 😋😍😎
If anyone wants a really low calorie italian style thick hot chocolate then here is it. My sister and I created this iver lockdown
200mls unsweetened almond milk
1 serving 40 calorie hot chocolate mix( cadburys or options)
3g cocoa powder
Stevia to taste
12-13g of corn flour
Optional but worth it
Mixed spice
1-2 teaspoons single cream
Half serving of the hot chocolate powder
Singke Square of dark chocolate
Take the milk, drink mix, cocoa powder and if adding mixed spice in a pan on the heat and heat until bubbling. Mix the corn flour with a little water to make a loose paste and pour about 4/5ths in while whisking fast. Cook for about 1-2 min staring constantly. Add the rest of the paste in and keep whisking. Cook until its rlly thick. Take off put in mug. Option but we allways do it
Place the dark chocolate in
Drink mix on top and give it a quick mix
Drizzle of singke cream
With the added extras its 207 but can be as low as 160-170
A usual Italian hot chocolate is about 400 cals. This is decent. Not incredible but worth it for its cals when craving
Thanks for sharing your hot chocolate recipe!
I'm not into desserts but I followed you for your cool ideas. Drinks contain a lot of sugar nowadays and I appreciate this video as something I'd personally make.
Hi there Ian! Thanks for your feedback!
I made an alternative version of your oatmeal hot chocolate with a few minor changes. B E S T HOT CHOCOLATE EVER! I blended my oats for the oat flour and used coconut oil to melt the chocolate. It was creamy, thick, rich and so delicious !! 😳❤ thank you !
Hi there! That's awesome! Thanks so much for your feedback!
@@HowToCookSmarter ❤
Nice timing, thank you!
I love your accent and your voice is very calming. Your recipes are top notch! Thank you for sharing them with us
My family loved it. Thanks for your awesome recipes. Keep 'em coming 😀
Your voice is so calming,and i follow your recipes with my eyes closed ❤️💙
I made the basic recipe and ❤️ it! Thank you so much!
The hot chocolate sweetened with dates is fantastic! Thanks for the great low sugar recipes
this isn’t a fancy hot chocolate but I’m pretty sure it’s only like 100 calories...
- cocoa powder
- honey
- boiling water
- milk (incredible with soy milk)
- cinnamon or mixed spice (optional)
- whipped cream/creme fraiche (optional)
• first you mix kind of a lot of cocoa powder, honey and boiling water to get a paste (not too thick and add a little bit of cinammon if you want)
•then you put the milk in and put it in the microwave on 800W for 1:50
• take it out and straight away put cream or marshmallows on it or whatever (ups calorie count but whatever)
enjoy :)
Just made this; SO delicious!
This hot chocolate is so good.... I have made it three times and will continue to make it again and again!
Man I'm so happy to have stumbled on your channel, all the goodness i love 😍 with accessible ingredients

I'm sipping that oatmeal hot chocolate as we speak, and it's just fabulous!! Such a deep resonant flavour, and it's so much more complex and nutty than regular hot chocolate. Just loving it!
(Btw this recipe makes enough for two people. It is rich!)

Just found your channel and I love all the recipes! For the hot chocolate, try adding some coffee granules when you’re heating the milk - it helps to bring out the chocolate flavour much more. 😀
Hi Katherine! Thanks for stopping by! Love your tip, will give it a try with the coffee too.

I used to add oats or wheat flour as a substitute while baking though it tasted good but i used to doubt myself. Now that I see you make this way I'm so much more confident.
I like experimenting and making foods the healthy way.
This is the type of channel I've been looking my whole life. I'm so GLAD
THANK-YOU SO MUCH
Exactly, oats are so great for baking and cooking in general as well. Thanks for your lovely feedback!
@@HowToCookSmarter and we can we eat it guilt free 🥺🤤❤️
I'm also in love with oats 😍
Looks tasty and healthier I will try .

great recipes as always! we have local cocoa “tablets” (roasted, ground and molded cacao nibs without added ingredients and additives) that we boil directly, and i usually just add my milk of choice without adding any sugar. but i sure will try your immune booster and the oatmeal versions!
Hi there Tanya! Never heard about cocoa tablets, sounds like a great option for making a hot drink, hope it will work in these versions too.
Awesome, thank you 🙏❤️
Thanks! Glad you like it!
My husband loves hot chocolate. I will surprise him with the oats and dates receipe. Here in Israel we have organic oats milk and otganic dates syrup..since i start following your channel i am using dates and oats for everything...hot cocoa is the next!!
Hi there Paula! That would be a nice surprise, hope he'd like it! I'm totally in love with oats and dates, definitely will be using these in my future recipes as well. Have a beautiful day!

@@HowToCookSmarter Do you have a bread recipe with oatmeal flour? I'm trying to eat less common flour 😝 i looked in the playlist but they are mostly sweet (I'm trying those too, for sure). Greetings from Patagonia, Argentina!!
@@ariy6144 Hi there! Yes, I do have one recipe on the channel, it's Honey oatmeal bread, it does contain honey, but it's classic bread actually, and it's pretty delicious. Sending hugs to Argentina!
@@HowToCookSmarter Thanks! I Will definitly try it!
Thanks i try it and it was wow 👌
That's great! Thanks for your feedback!
Thanks,I like the chocolate drink😋🌻🌻👍
Thanks for your comment Judy!
I love these ideas! I'm not so into cocoa, but if I do drink it, I want to make it from scratch as the taste is so different! My fiance is crazy about cocoa, but he prefers ready-made and drinks it cold - don't ask me why. Sending this video to him too, maybe he will like the ideas! 😁
Thanks for checking in! I agree, homemade is always better, hope your fiance will like this recipe.
this guy is awesome oats lover, i am in the correct channel too. i have also my own version of hot chocolate same with you i added dates +soya milk, ill try the rest with your hot chocolate i never thought about the coconut milk hmmm ill try tomorrow
Thanks! Hope you'll like my recipes too!
Omg, these sound yummy. I think I’ll try the one with the oats and dates!!!!!!!!!
Hi there Gerri! Hope you'll enjoy it as much as I did! Oats and dates work so great in hot chocolate.
@@HowToCookSmarter
I shared it with a friend who likes to use dates to sweeten things. She is excited to try it. As am I. 💞
@@gerrimcgrath6878 Great! Let me know how you liked it guys!
The coconut milk sounds wonderful in this recipe. We will definitely give it a try. All your recipes work so nicely. Thank you.
Yes, it makes this hot chocolate just special.
@@HowToCookSmarter I made a mistake and bought "light" coconut milk. Will it still work?
@@2EternityButterflies Sure, why not, it comes with some percentage of fat too, I mean it's still creamy.
@@HowToCookSmarter Thanks! Have a good day.
@@2EternityButterflies You too!
Odlican video, jedva cekam da jos malo zahladi da probam i ovaj recept! Da barem ima Nutrigold proizvoda i u Njemackoj. Puno pozdrava!

Hi Carlos! Thanks for trying it out! So glad you enjoy it guys!
Fun fact: Cow's milk is a lot more nutritious then any plant milk.
Actual fact: lactose intolerance is a thing.
fun fact: casein feeds cancer cells :)
Funner fact: Camel milk is even more nutritious than cows milk
Spiced hot chocolate sounds yuuummy! Yay! OATS!!! I was thinking to myself, we've got to thicken this stuff somehow. Much of Latin America makes an oatmeal drink, Dominican Republic is raw and Colombia's is cooked. Yummy on that last thick version of hot chocolate!! GIGANTIC thumbs up on this recipe!!!
Hi there! Really didn't know about that tradition in Latin America, will explore that topic, anyway it tasted so good. Thanks so much for your feedback! Take care!
it look so delicious :D
Thanks!
It's very cold right now a nice cup of hot chocolate will do me good right now nice recipe
Hi Afton! Thanks for checking it out!

Thanks a lot!
amazing 😍
Thanks NIna!
Mmmmmm thanks a lot 🌺💕🌺💕🌺💕🌺💕🌺
I make my hot cocoa with oats, too! Though I call it a 'warm smoothie,' but it's pretty much hot cocoa. I also put an egg in mine for protein, and it makes it so creamy thick and delicious as well.
Hi there! Thanks for trying it out! Putting an egg inside, love the idea!
How do you add an egg?
Blend spinach, 1 banana, and lil bit of milk with some oats. It's tasty ❤️
Definitely trying this😍 I would love it if you could list how many calories the recipes have in the description or something like that! Would be super helpful
Hope you'll like these! You can find the calories in the description below.
@@HowToCookSmarter oh alright I thought I already checked the description but I must have rushed through it cause I didn’t see it before, thanks
