With the cold weather here, I find myself reaching for more warm beverages. There is something about wrapping my hands around a coffee mug, that I just find so soothing & grounding.
Here at the bakery we had plans to make hot chocolate bombs this season, (and it isn't out of the question - we'll still try!!), but I thought I'd share a yummy paleo hot chocolate recipe to get you started this holiday season.
What you need:
1 cup of milk (I like unsweetened almond milk, my kids use goat milk - but your favourite milk will do)
1 tbsp raw cocao powder
1 tbsp pure maple syrup
optional: splash of vanilla (cuz doesn't vanilla make everything better?)
Directions:
Combine everything in a small saucepan and cook over medium
Stir/whisk occasionally until hot
Pour into mug and enjoy!
Optional: make it extra fun by topping with coconut whipped cream and chocolate shavings, sprinkles or homemade marshmallows.
