I have transformed the "regular bowl of oatmeal" into the most decadent tasting breakfast thanks to my Healthy Chocolate Oatmeal recipe! It's so easy to make, ready in just 15 minutes, and is the perfect recipe for adults and kids alike. I promise, it's so delicious that it will get any picky eater to love oatmeal.
Cook the oats with 1½ cups of water and the pinch of salt 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, and then letting it sit for another 5 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 ½ a cup to give the oats a nice creamy consistency)
Add the honey and stir to combine.
Stir in the flaxseeds, and heat again for 1-2 minutes until the oatmeal is the temperature you like!
