Time 10m

Yield 1-2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup milk
1/2 cup old fashioned oats
2 teaspoons cocoa powder
2 teaspoons sugar (younger audiences may prefer 3 tsp to make it sweeter)
salt
chocolate chips (optional)
fruit (optional)
nuts (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat milk and a pinch of salt in a small saucepan over medium heat until begining to simmer.
  • Reduce heat and add oats, cocoa and sugar.
  • Simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally until thickened.
  • If you want your oatmeal thick or watery, this is where you determine the consistency- don't stop until it's pretty much at the consistency you would like.
  • Cover and let sit for about 5 minutes (this cooks the oatmeal more thoroughly).
  • Remove cover, stir and serve.
  • Garnish with chocolate chips, nuts, and/or fruit if desired.
