Perfect for a cold winter morning’s breakfast while you cozy up by the fire and listen to some soothing music, this is a quick and easy, warm and nourishing breakfast treat that’s like having a morning dessert. I’ve decided to withhold sugar just because I’m watching my weight before the holidays, but by all means, add as much or as little as your diet and taste buds desire!
Budget-wise, can you believe this recipe is only 67 cents per serving!?!?
My favorite fruit to add to this chocolatey oatmeal is banana, but you could also add strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries if you prefer. Have fun experimenting, customizing for your own tastes, and enjoy!
