Triple Chocolate Steel Cut Oatmeal

This triple chocolate steel cut oatmeal is like having dessert for breakfast. It’s creamy, chewy and loaded with chocolate.

On Monday, I leave for a two week trip to Europe.

Now, for the most part, I’ll take European (particularly Italian and Spanish) food any day over the typical American fare.

Except one meal, breakfast.

I just can’t get behind copious amounts of meat, warm milk and pathetically small cups of coffee in the morning.

Not to mention the incredibly small portion sizes Europeans tend to eat for breakfast.

Sorry but I need some sustenance to start my day!

If there’s one thing American’s do right, it’s breakfast.

From eggs, bacon and toast to warm bowls of filling oatmeal, we just do breakfast better on this side of the ocean.

And to prove it, this triple chocolate steel cut oatmeal adds three (duh) types of chocolate to a deliciously chewy and hearty breakfast bowl.

ps- I highly recommend a big scoop of nut butter to top things off and get all melty in the chocolate…diiiivine.

Perhaps some gingerbread peanut butter or spicy chocolate walnut butter for a quadruple chocolate effect? I mean, there’s no such thing as too much chocolate, right?

So 14 days from now, when I’m sad about the trip coming to an end at least there’s the thought of kick ass breakfasts like these chocolate steel cut oats and big cups of coffee to come home to.
