Instant Chocolate Oatmeal With Cinnamon

I made this up this morning to satisfy my chocolate and oatmeal cravings. Its quite similar to a few recipes on this site, but I thought that I should post my recipe, too! If desired, adding a fresh peach or two is okay.

• Ready In: 4 mins
• Serves: 1

Ingredients

• 1⁄2 cup  instant plain oatmeal (or you can use quick cooking oats too)
• 2  teaspoons  hot cocoa mix (fat-free okay)
• 1  tablespoon powdered milk (fat-free okay)
• 1⁄2 cup boiling water
• 1  teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
• 1⁄2 teaspoon ground ginger (optional)

Directions

1. Combine the oatmeal, hot cocoa mix and dry milk powder together. (add ground cinnamon and ginger if using).
2. Add the boiling water and microwave for about 20 seconds, or until bubbly (keep your eyes peeled, you would'nt want it boiling over).
3. If you're using quick-cooking oats, increase the cooking time to 1 minute.
4. Give it a quick stir and let it rest/sit for 30 seconds.
5. delicious (to me, at least)!
