Introduction: Gluten Free Hot Chocolate With Coconut Oil

About: I like to make food and create recipes! I share them here because it makes the world more efficient if we all share good ideas. I have a gluten/dairy free child who inspires much of what I create in the ki…

Ingredients:

1 cup whole milk
1 TB coconut oil
1/2 TB unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 tsp vanilla
1 tsp honey (use more or less depending on how sweet you like it)

Instructions:

Put all ingredients (milk first) in a small saucepan over medium heat.   Stir constantly with a small whisk (this helps the coconut oil blend in).  It will heat up and come together pretty quickly (under 2 minutes).  Pour into a mug and enjoy :)

Notes:  I am always looking for ways to get coconut oil into my son, and this works really well!   You almost can't even taste the coconut oil.  I purposely make this less sweet than normal hot chocolate (he has never had it any other way), so if you prefer a sweeter drink, feel free to add more honey (and cocoa if you like).
