Chocolate Coconut Macaroon Oats are an easy, healthy, and filling breakfast bowl. Creamy, chocolate-y, coconut-y – like having a bowl of dessert for breakfast!
I’m a huge fan of oatmeal bowls to start the day. They’re so filling and satisfying – great when you’re hungry for more than a smoothie and/or craving sweet over savory. The flavor and topping options are endless!
I’m also a huge fan of chocolate for breakfast. This oatmeal bowl combines two of my favorite sweet flavors – chocolate & coconut – for a little dessert for breakfast!
Don’t skip the toppings! I top mine with sliced banana, almonds, chia seeds, chocolate chips, and additional shredded coconut. They add so much texture and flavor.
