I love chocolate (who doesn’t right?), especially dark chocolate. I love the bitter yet slightly sweet taste of it. I remember sampling a piece of fine dark chocolate with a hint of orange from Paris and it was out of this world! I missed that flavor so much that I NEEDED to recreate it. And of course it had to be oatmeal, because I eat oatmeal everyday! Not any kind of oatmeal, oatmeal brûlée because it is fancier and more amazing than regular oats! This flavor combo may be the most amazing yet, thanks to the bitterness of the cocoa paired with the sweet acidity of the orange. You will not be disappointed!

OMG – you had me at brûlée. I love cocoa powder too – mostly for the chocolate taste but I’m happy to take advantage of the benefits. 🙂

Hmm, I’m not really sure. I think I need to install something to get the print button! I think you could maybe screenshot it for now, I’m really sorry about that!

Hi, Please consider adding a “PRINT BUTTON” We can’t all lug our computers into the kitchen and not everyone can afford a fancy phone or i PAD.
