Notes
For a creamier bowl, use milk or a milk alternative instead of water.
Add fresh fruits like bananas or berries for an extra burst of flavor and nutrients.
To make it vegan, ensure the chocolate used is dairy-free.
For a crunchier texture, lightly toast the hazelnuts before adding to the oats.
