My guys thought this was a great change from their usual porridge. Not a single complaint was heard. My personal preference would be to leave out the cinnamon but I did enjoy it. Thanks for sharing your recipe. Made for ZWT - Xtra Hot Dishes.

Yea! Dessert for breakfast! Choc-flavored, easy-to-fix & a great way to start the British part of the tour. Made as written for ZWT6 & served w/another ZWT effort, this makes the words good & morning actually work well together says this non-morning person, chocoholic & lover of oatmeal who usually just flavors it w/a bit of cinnamon. Thx for posting this sure to-be-repeated recipe for us. :-)

Very eaasy and good! I used rice chocolate milk and rolled millet instead of oats, but that doesn't really make a difference. Maybe next time I'll double the cinnamon, but that's just personal preference :) Thanks for posting! Made for ZWT6 Britain for The Unrulies Under The Influence.
