By ccavaletti

Ingredients

• 2-3/4 cups chocolate milk
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1-1 ⁄3 cups old fashioned oats
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 small banana, peeled and cut into small chunks

Preparation

Step 1

Bring 2-1/4 cups chocolate milk and the salt to a gentle boil in a medium saucepan.

Stir in dried oats and cinnamon. Reduce heat.

Gently boil, uncovered, over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Remove from heat; let stand for 2 to 3 minutes to slightly absorb excess milk in mixture.

To serve, stir vanilla into oatmeal, then gently stir in banana.

Spoon oatmeal into bowls and pour 2 tablespoons chocolate milk over each serving.
