Regular or Chocolaty Oatmeal

I love a good bowl of oatmeal in the morning and I make this as often as I can.  It's super quick and under 5 minutes!  It's tasty, fresh, and sometimes I like to make it chocolaty, just because. 😉You can enjoy it as is or with some fresh fruit on top.  YUM!  Enjoy!

Recipe yields 1 serving

Ingredients:

-1 cup milk (at least 2%)

-1/2 cup quick oats

-dash of salt

-1 Tbs packed brown sugar

-1/2 tsp vanilla extract

-1/4 tsp cinnamon

*** to make it chocolaty add an extra 1/2 Tbs packed brown sugar and 1 Tbs unsweetened cocoa powder.

Directions:

In a small saucepan, bring the milk to a boil.  Lower the heat to medium and add the oats and salt.  Give it a good stir and cook for a couple of minutes.  Quickly add remaining ingredients and mix very well.  Cook for 1 more minute, pour into bowl and enjoy! YUM!
