At a glance
You're looking at a super flexible 11-minute breakfast that's perfect for keeping things interesting—oats simmer with milk and a beaten egg to create a creamy, protein-packed base, then cocoa powder turns it into something chocolate-y delicious. The fun part is topping it all with whatever fruit and nuts you've got, so you can switch things up every time you make it.
