This oatmeal is really chocolatey and it only took about 10 minutes to prepare. The serving size is quite large and it kept me feeling full and satisfied until lunchtime. I used 6 strawberries and found that to be just right. Next time, I'll cut them into smaller pieces to make the overall texture a bit more uniform. I recommend tasting the oats before you add the strawberries. I ended up stirring in one more tablespoon of sugar to get the balance between the cocoa and the sweetness just right. Bottom Line: I liked it. It was easy. I'll make it again. (This recipe was submitted in February 2015. It was tested and photographed in August 2015.)





How To Make Chocolate-Covered Strawberry Oatmeal

Slice strawberries into small pieces. Combine oats, salt, milk, and water into a microwave-safe bowl. Heat for 90 seconds (or longer, depending on microwave speed). Remove, and add vanilla, sugar and cocoa. Stir well. Microwave for an additional minute, stirring at 30-second intervals, until thickened as desired. Add strawberries and stir well.






This easy, chocolatey oatmeal gives you heart-healthy oats with the taste satisfaction of a fun dessert.
