Chocolate Oatmeal

Directions

1. 1
   Heat milk and a pinch of salt in a small saucepan over medium heat until begining to simmer.
2. 2
   Reduce heat and add oats, cocoa and sugar.
3. 3
   Simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally until thickened.
4. 4
   If you want your oatmeal thick or watery, this is where you determine the consistency- don't stop until it's pretty much at the consistency you would like.
5. 5
   Cover and let sit for about 5 minutes (this cooks the oatmeal more thoroughly).
6. 6
   Remove cover, stir and serve.
7. 7
   Garnish with chocolate chips, nuts, and/or fruit if desired.
