10 min | 5 min prep
SERVES 1 -2
- 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)
- 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.
