Chocolate Oatmuck (Oatmeal)
"My kids think this is more like a treat than breakfast. I usually make up a batch in the evening, so I don't have to wait in the morning for it to be ready. It's tasty either hot or cold. I will often sneak a bite from the fridge when I'm looking for a treat."

Wow... "treat" is right! This stuff is seriously good... almost like a healthy chocolate pudding! I thought it might be a little too liquid (even after simmering uncovered) but it thickened up nicely upon cooling. This is going to be my new favorite dessert! -
Made this as a lunch treat because I was feeling lazy and didn't want to make anything. Doubled the recipe and subbed 1 C water and 4 oz vegan cream cheese for the milk. Kids loved it. Thanks!
