Running short on time in the morning? Want dessert for breakfast? This recipe is a good pick-me-up for a hair-frazzling sort of day! Or any day, really. Let's be honest.
Oatmeal, instant coffe, hot chocolate mix, water. Done. It's that easy.
Seriously though. All I did was zap 1/4 c of oatmeal with 1/2 c water in the microwave. After that was done I stirred in 1 tsp instant coffee with 2 tsp instant fat-free hot chocolate mix!
OR if you have, say, one extra minute you could do it my preferred way. Brew yourself some morning joe, and use a 1/2 c of THAT in the microwave with your oatmeal instead of plain water. I just really prefer fresh coffee to instant mix!
Then, top with 2 tsp semi-sweet chocolate chips instead of hot chocolate mix. This variation gives the oatmeal a richer, more decadent flavor. If you're feeling extra special, you could even squirt a dollop of whipped cream on top. Mmm. I know you'll enjoy this quick, tasty treat!
