Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 0.5 cup water
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.125 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
- 1 teaspoon butter or coconut oil
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, milk, and water. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Stir in the brown sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes, or until the oatmeal is thick and creamy.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in 1 tablespoon of mini chocolate chips. This will create a slightly melty and chocolatey base for the oatmeal.
Transfer the oatmeal to a serving bowl. Sprinkle the remaining 1 tablespoon of mini chocolate chips on top along with the chopped walnuts or pecans, if using.
Finish with a dollop of butter or coconut oil for a rich and indulgent flavor boost.
Serve warm and enjoy!
