My changes:
1/3 cup old-fashioned oatmeal
1/2 cup 2% milk
2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tsp Stevia
Measure the coca into a microwave proof bowl. Add a tablespoon of milk at a time and mix until it is a smooth paste, Gradually add the rest of milk, stirring until it is smooth. Stir in the Setvia and oatmeal.
Microwave on HIGH 1 minute, stir. Microwave for 30 seconds at a time until the oatmeal has thickened.
NOTES: I've had problems getting coca powder to mix in unless I use this method. I reduced the milk since I like very thick oatmeal - this is the proportions I use for oatmeal all the time. My microwave has a 30 second button so that is easier for me to use. I let the oatmeal sit in between times since I am usually doing something else in the kitchen while it is cooking.
