Chocolate Oatmeal

• 1 TBSP Cocoa Powder (Baking Cocoa)
• 20g, or 1 heaping TBSP, Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
• 1 TBSP Brown Sugar
• 1 pinch, or shake, Cinnamon
• 1/2 C Oatmeal (Rolled Oats)

• 1 1/4 C Water (You may need less, only 1 C, if you don't live high & dry)
• Pinch of Salt

Mix the cocoa powder, chips, sugar, cinnamon, and oats, together in a bowl. 

Bring water and salt to a boil. Add the mixture to the water. What I do, when I make oatmeal, any flavor of oatmeal, is, I wait for it to try and boil over and at that point I reduce the heat to low, and wait for it to reach my preferred texture, stirring occasionally. 

Stirring occasionally, for the uninitiated, means, when I remember, or when someone says, "Mom, I think you better check the oatmeal."

Smells fabulous while it's cooking, and, to me, it tastes like homemade chocolate pudding. I like homemade chocolate pudding, so this is a good thing. 

You could top it off with milk, if you like to add milk to your oatmeal, or whipped cream. Me? I garnished mine with cinnamon sugar, because that's what makes oatmeal, of any flavor, taste so good.
