Almond Joy Oatmeal [Recipe]

This was sooooooooooooo yummy! I can't believe I had never thought of this before. I had over at undressedskeleton.com that Taralynn had made a version of this, but I couldn't find it, so I made my own simple version and you know what? It tastes exactly like an Almond Joy, is very filling and satisfies my sweet tooth! All for breakfast! Yay!


Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup Rolled Oats
  • 1T unsweetend cocoa powder
  • 1/3 cup light coconut milk (Thai Kitchen)
  • 1/4 cup raw almonds
Directions
  1. Cook oatmeal with water per usual
  2. Add coconut milk and cocoa, mix until well combined
  3. Top with almonds
  4. Devour instantly
Oh yummy! And here is the calorie breakdown:

There are tons of variations as well:
Use coconut cream instead of coconut milk and add 230 calories
Use regular instead of light coconut milk and add 160 calories
Use 1T of semi-sweet chocolate chips instead of cocoac powder and add 60 calories
Use 2T almond butter instead of raw almonds and add 30 calories
Use 2T flaked, sweetened coconut instead of coconut milk (sub coconut milk with almond milk) and the meal would be 425 calories

Anyway you get the picture...just make sure there is coconut, chocolate and almonds and it will taste like an Almond Joy! :)
