Char’s Chocolate Orange Oatmeal
Posted on August 19, 2012
I have this bad habit of writing up drafts, & then completely forgetting that they are there. This post was written back in MAY, & I still haven’t shared this awesome recipe with you! Whoops, my bad. So here it is now.
In case you don’t already know this, I am crazy obsessed with putting chocolate into my oatmeal. If you have yet to discover the secret to amazing breakfasts, try it now. I promise you won’t regret it. Breakfast has never been the same <3
I really like the addition of orange flavour in this, too, which comes from NuNaturals Orange Flavour Liquid Stevia. If you don’t have this on hand, use any sweetener you desire & try adding orange extract or lemon extract. Both will work, and both will be amazing. Life is short, so have dessert for breakfast!
Enjoy, foodies! From my kitchen to yours <3

Yum! I had oatmeal this morning, too! Is the orange flavored stevia hard to find?
Nope! It should be easy to find in any health food store
