Ingredients

  • 1 cup low fat milk or any type of milk you wish
  • 1 cup water
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • ⅓ cup Chocolate Protein Powder
  • 2 tablespoons Bob's Red Mill Flax Seed Meal

Instructions

  • In a medium sauce pot, whisk together milk, water, vanilla, salt, cocoa powder, protein powder and flax seed meal over medium-high heat. Heat until bubbles start to form around the edges of the pan, whisking occasionally, being careful not to bring to a roaring boil.
  • Once bubbles start to form around the edges, add in the steel cut oats. Bring back to a low boil then reduce heat to low. Simmer 15 minutes or until oats reach desired consistency. Serve with mini chocolatee chips, raspberries and milk if you wish.

Notes

I like prepping these steel cut oats ahead of time and my kids simply reheat it in the microwave in the morning for breakfast.
