As a variation of my baked steel cut oatmeal I tried adding some cocoa. The result was almost dessert like but still healthy and light for breakfast. The great thing is it will keep you full until lunch.

I've never had luck with making my own oatmeal. I think I've grown used to the sugary sweet overload of the instant stuff that is not nutritious at all. This sounds so good I might have to give it another shot!
Great recipe. I didn't know Naturally More contained
eggs? I better go back and check the ingredients.
I love that PB!
This looks so decadent, yet I can tell myself it's healthful, too healthful, too. This is breakfast and dessert combined into one.
this looks awesome! I really need to get some of that 'special' cocoa powder.
Hi Dawn,

Yay! Let me know how you like it! I can't seem to get enough of the stuff.
Really good, thank you. I added sprinkled a tablespoon of brown sugar on the top before baking and it was lovely. I would suggest sifting the cocoa powder and adding it to the oatmeal to avoid lumps.
