Ingredients

The following ingredients have 3 Servings
  • 3 cups water
  • 1 cup steel-cut oats
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 2 teaspoons instant espresso
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons sugar or agave nectar
  • 1/4 cup roasted mixed nuts
  • 1/4 cup bittersweet chocolate chips
  • Milk or cream, to serve

Instruction

  • Bring water to a boil. Stir in oats, espresso, cocoa powder, and salt. Bring back to a boil and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer uncovered for 20 to 30 minutes, stirring frequently, until the oats reach your desired tenderness. Remove from the heat and stir in the sugar or agave nectar.
  • Meanwhile, while the oatmeal is cooking, roughly chop the mixed nuts and chocolate chips. Mix them in a small serving bowl.
  • When the oatmeal is ready, serve hot with milk or cream on the side, and sprinkled liberally with the nut and chocolate topping.
