Chocolate for Breakfast!

I usually have the same thing for breakfast every morning... 1/2 C. eggbeaters with any combination of spinach, mushrooms, tomatoes, diced bell peppers, and/or onions. It's delicious and I enjoy it, but when this little recipe from SELF Magazine graced my inbox, I decided to switch it up. I'm glad I did... it was YUMMY and I wouldn't be opposed to having this for dessert on occasion :)


Directions:
Cook 1/4 cup old fashioned oats in 1/2 cup skim milk.
Mix oatmeal with 1/2 mashed banana (I used one -whole- of those cute little mini bananas), 2 tsp cocoa powder, 1 tsp brown sugar, and 1/4 tsp cinnamon.
Top with 1/4 cup skim milk and 1 1/2 tbsp ground flaxseeds (optional).

A lot of carbs, which I've been doing without, but whole grains like oatmeal are A-Okay!!
