In a medium saucepan, combine rolled oats, almond milk, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
Once boiling, reduce heat to low and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently until the oats are creamy and cooked through.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in peanut butter, chocolate protein powder, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined.
If the mixture is too thick, add a splash more almond milk to reach your desired consistency.
Serve warm in bowls and top with your choice of sliced bananas, chopped nuts, or chocolate chips.
