Chocolate Oatmuck Oatmeal


My kids think this is more like a treat than breakfast. i usually make up a batch in the evening, so i don't have to wait in the morning for it to be ready. it's tasty either hot or cold. i will often sneak a bite from the fridge when i'm looking for a treat.

Steps


Melt butter in a large skillet and saute steel cut oats over medium high heat for about one minute.
Add hot water , bring to a boil and reduce heat to keep at a simmer for 20 minutes.
Do not stir !.
Mix salt , sugar and cocoa powder together to prevent the cocoa from clumping and add to oats.
Add milk and continue to simmer for another 10 minutes stirring occasionally.
Enjoy.
