Best of both Breakfasts!

My two favorite breakfasts are Hot Chocolate and Oatmeal so I thought - why not combine them! I am sure this is not an original idea but it was SOO tasty - I usually make my own hot chocolate from cocoa and stevia, but you could probably just add a packet of Hot Cocoa mix to your Oatmeal and it would still be good! Here is how I make it:

HOT CHOCOLATE OATMEAL RECIPE

1/2 Cup Oatmeal (I actually use 1/4 cup oatmeal and 1/4 cup oat bran since I love my oat bran!)
1-1/12 cup water or milk (depending on how rich you like it (I use Almond Milk) )
1-2 Tablespoon Cocoa (to taste)
1-2 Tablespoon Sugar or honey (or packet of Stevia)
A dash of Cinnamon
A dash of Salt
A dash of vanilla

Bring to boil on the stove. Reduce heat and simmer 5-10 minutes until desired thickness! For an added touch top with whipping cream, dig in and ENJOY!
