Happy Saturday, all!! I've decided to do something a little different this week...and maybe more weeks in the future, because I really had fun with it...I made a recipe that was submitted to Mr. Linky on a previous Simple Saturday post! I always think everything looks so delicious...and I always want to try everything...and what better way than to actually do it and post about it! Something about MonsterMama's Chocolate Oatmeal was just begging me to make it! Because, although I like chocolate chips in my granola bars...I've never actually mixed any chocolate into my actual hot bowl of oatmeal. It was kind of reminiscent of CoCo Wheats. It was rich (of course, that could be because I used Special-Dark Cocoa). It was decadent. It was a wonderful treat. But if you're a weirdo not a chocolate lover...then this is just for looking...non-chocoholics need not apply!
Chocolate Oatmeal
my slightly adapted from MonsterMama's recipe (& halved) version
1 1/2 c. Oats (I just used regular old rolled oats)
1/4 c. Vanilla Sugar
1/4 c. Cocoa Powder (I used Hershey's Special Dark)
1 3/4 c. water
couple pinches of Espresso Brava Sea Salt
~1/2 c. milk
Bring water to a boil. Add cocoa and vanilla sugar, stir. Add oats and sea salt; bring to a boil, then reduce to a gentle simmer. Allow to cook for ~5 minutes or until done. Remove from heat and stir in milk.
Serve with more milk & a few granules of Espresso Brava Sea Salt to finish!
Thanks for the inspiration MonsterMama! I can't wait to see what Simple dish you'll all share with us this Saturday...hmmmm....now, what to make for next week....

I love oatmeal and have never tried it with chocolate. I will have to give it a try. :)
This sounds great. I wish I still had some oatmeal left! It would be perfect this cold morning.
I love the idea of trying recipes that have been posted on our memes - I had been posting the ones I tried on my regular blog. Right here at the Krazy Kitchen is even better! Great idea girlichef :-)
This sounds yummy!!! :)
And this is the first time I posted to your blog, and I see I rather screwed up - I didn't add my recipe name, which is Golden Oatmeal Breakfast Slices!
This looks so delicious!! I'm so glad I didn't eat breakfast yet, cause I'm off to cook up some oats now!
Yours is a real grownup version :) It looks incredible, maybe add some nuts on top. Yummy!
No problem at all, Oz Girl!! We can still find you either way :D
And Mickey...YES, very grown up and rich and YUMMY! ;P
