I could eat this everyday.I love it for 3 reasons.One ,that it’s Chocolate,Duh! Second, it’s healthy .And third,It keeps me Full! Most healthy options of breakfast don’t keep me full for long enough.I always end up eating more than I should but this pudding is fantastic that way.
I have used steel cut oats in this Chocolate Oats Pudding recipe instead of rolled or instant oats.They are more nutritious and filling than the other two types, though they take longer to cook.

I have also used Cacao powder instead of Cocoa powder because it’s less processed and more intense.Here is a brilliant article that will help you understand why Cacao is better than cocoa.
