Instructions

Cup of Yum

In a medium sauce pot, whisk together milk, water, vanilla, salt, cocoa powder, protein powder and flax seed meal over medium-high heat. Heat until bubbles start to form around the edges of the pan, whisking occasionally, being careful not to bring to a roaring boil.
Once bubbles start to form around the edges, add in the steel cut oats. Bring back to a low boil then reduce heat to low. Simmer 15 minutes or until oats reach desired consistency. Serve with mini chocolatee chips, raspberries and milk if you wish.

Notes

I like prepping these steel cut oats ahead of time and my kids simply reheat it in the microwave in the morning for breakfast.
