Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup rolled oats cooked with 1 1/2 cups of water
- 1 teaspoon raw, unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup nonfat milk
- 1 tablespoon walnuts (optional)
- 2 tablespoons artificial sweetener (such as Splenda)
- 1 cup blueberries (optional)
Directions:
1. Cook the oats with 1 1/2 cups of water until the oats are fluffy and all the water has disappeared (You can cook it for 2 minutes in the microwave, stir, and cook for 2 more minutes.)
2. Add the cocoa powder and cinnamon to the cooked oats while they are still hot.
3. Stir until everything is fully combined, and your oats have a deep chocolatey color.
4. Add the milk and walnuts, if using (you can add as much milk as you like; about 1/2 cup gives a creamy consistency)
5. Add the artificial sweetener and stir to combine until the oats have the consistency you like. Add blueberries, if desired.
