Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups milk
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons dark chocolate chips
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, milk, cocoa powder, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir the mixture regularly to combine the ingredients well.
Cook for about 5 minutes, or until the mixture starts to thicken.
Once the oatmeal begins to thicken, reduce the heat to low and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats are soft and the oatmeal has reached your desired thickness.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and dark chocolate chips until the chocolate is melted and fully incorporated.
Divide the chocolate oatmeal between two bowls.
Add optional toppings such as chopped nuts, sliced banana, or fresh berries to enhance the flavor and texture.
