Notes
It's essential to use homemade oat milk because when heated, it thickens all by itself due to the nature of the oatmeal. Commercial oat milk don't thicken when heated.

In this case, you will have to add 1 - 2 tablespoons of cornstarch or potato starch to the milk depending on how thick you would like the sauce to be.Link to original recipe - Low-fat Chocolate Sauce Recipe - https://veganlovlie.com/gooey-chocolate-creme-dessert-sans-fat/
