Chocolate-Banana Oatmeal

Chocolate-Banana Oatmeal

Makes 4 (1/2-cup) servings.

Ingredients

2 3/4 cups 1% lowfat chocolate milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 small banana, peeled and cut into small chunks (3 ounces)


Directions

Bring 2 1/4 cups chocolate milk and the salt to a gentle boil in medium saucepan. Stir in dried oats and cinnamon. Reduce heat. Gently boil, uncovered, over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat; let stand for 2 to 3 minutes to slightly absorb excess milk in mixture, stirring occasionally.
