Okay, so I am SUCH a chocoholic that nothing makes me happier that a bowl of this stuff in the morning. Maybe it's not really a novel recipe, but I'm sharing it anyway. :)

1/2 cup of oats
1 tablespoon of peanut butter
1 tablespoon of Hershey's unsweetened cocoa
Water

Cook for 1.5-2.5 minutes depending on microwave.

Add sugar to your liking! Anywhere for 2 teaspoons to a tablespoon.

It's not super sugary, contains protein, will definitely fill you up, is delicious, and will curb your chocolate cravings. (Well, at least it does for me!)

Heck, maybe someday I'll even add a little banana!

What's your favorite oatmeal concoction?

(If you like plain oatmeal, add like 1/2 a teaspoon of vanilla and some craisins! The craisins rehydrate!! Yum).

    Love this! Thank you!!
    I also have used sugar free jellies or syrup. Great way to change up oatmeal so I don't get tired of it ;)

    I put in a couple tablespoons of sugar free maple syrup in my oatmeal with a dash of salt. It only adds 15 calories and is loaded with flavor. I don't miss pancakes/waffles/french toast anymore.

    This actually sounds pretty good, and I'm not the biggest fan of oatmeal. May have to give this a try!

    For some reason, I love putting dry oatmeal on peanut butter sandwiches. Mixing chocolate with peanut butter and oatmeal sounds like an awesome combination (although, not on a sandwich).

    :happy:

    this is my breakfast/lunch every day :) I use a variety of PB&CO flavours to mix it up also. And add a scoop of protein after it has cooled for about 2mins then stir in.

    Cinnamon also goes very well :)

    I have two favorite "oatmeal concoctions" :D The first one is quakers old fashioned oats w/ cinnamon, brown sugar, peanut butter, and flax seed (and a little soy milk if I have it around)- and the second one is oatmeal w/ cinnamon, brown sugar, flax seed, walnuts, strawberries, and blueberries :0).. I love oatmeal, and I love spicing it up!

    I usually like adding peanut butter, a bit of brown sugar, and some fruit.

    Yum! I always add peanut butter to my oatmeal - sometimes I also add a grated apple and teaspoon of cinnamon.
