Ingredients
- ½ cup rolled oats, cooked with 1 ½ cups of water
- 1 teaspoon raw, unsweetened cocoa powder*
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ cup non-fat milk
- 1 tablespoon walnuts (optional)
- 1 cup Blueberries (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Splenda
Instructions
- Cook the oats with 1 ½ cups of water until the oats are fluffy and all water has disappeared (You can do this by cooking for 2 minutes in the microwave, stirring and then cooking for 2 more minutes).
- Add cocoa powder and cinnamon to the cooked oats while they are still hot.
- Stir until everything is fully combined and your oats have a deep chocolatey color.
- Add walnuts and the milk (You can add as much milk as you’d like, but about ½ cup gives the oats a nice creamy consistency).
- Add Splenda and stir to combine until the oats have the consistency you like. If you’re using blueberries, add them in now.
Notes
*The raw cocoa powder, believe it or not, is actually one of the healthiest parts of this dish. While normally adding chocolate would make the dish unhealthy, adding raw unsweetened cocoa powder is different because It comes straight from the cacao bean, containing antioxidants, polyphenols, a bit of fiber and some protein too.
