Indulge in this decadent yet nutritious chocolate Ogi bowl. The natural sweetness of fermented cornmeal pairs perfectly with antioxidant-rich cocoa and nutrient-dense chia seeds for a breakfast that's both satisfying and health-promoting.
In a mixing bowl, combine Ogi flour with cold water. Stir until completely smooth.
Tip: A lump-free slurry ensures smooth final texture.
Bring 1.5 cups of water to a boil. Gradually add the boiling water to the slurry, stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
Tip: Add water slowly while stirring briskly.
Stir until it thickens into a creamy porridge. Cover and let steam for 3 to 5 minutes.
Tip: Steaming enhances flavor and texture.
Stir in cocoa powder while still warm. Add honey, cinnamon, or sliced banana if desired.
Tip: Warm chocolate integrates better into the Ogi.
Finish with a sprinkle of chia seeds for a nutritious crunch and digestive health.
Tip: Chia seeds absorb liquid and become gel-like for extra nutrition.
Serve warm or chilled and feel the glow of clean, plant-powered nourishment.
Tip: Warm brings out chocolate flavors, chilled is refreshing.
