Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Quaker® Rolled Oats cooked with 1.5 cups of water
- 1 tsp raw unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup 1% organic milk
- 1 Tbsp chopped walnuts
- 1 Tbsp ground flax seed
- Honey, Agave, Maple Syrup to taste Optional – not included in nutritional info
Instructions
- Cook the oats with 1.5 cups of water until the oats are fluffy and all the water has disappeared (I do this by cooking it for 2 minutes in the microwave, stirring, and cooking it for 2 more minutes.)
- Add the 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 the walnuts, and the milk (you can add as much milk as you like – I use about 1/2 a cup to give the oats a nice creamy consistency)
- Add the honey/agave/maple syrup if using, and stir to combine until the oats have the consistency you like.
