Time 10m

Yield 1-2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

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.
