Gluten-Free Cocoa Wheats
A lovely, hearty, and warm breakfast – and it’s chocolatey too! Cocoa wheats were one of my favorite comfort breakfasts as a kid.
This bowl of grain-free cocoa wheats is cooked on the stovetop and takes less than 10 minutes to make. I love adding a little unsalted butter at the end to make it richer. Adjust the amount of sweetener to your liking, but I felt two tablespoons was enough for me.
The nutritional information is based on this recipe serving 1, but it’s a very generous serving so you may be able to stretch it between two people.
