A delightful twist on classic oatmeal, featuring rich chocolate chips and a hint of vanilla for a comforting breakfast or snack.
Combine the milk, water, and salt in a saucepan and bring to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Stir occasionally to prevent the milk from scorching at the bottom of the pan.
Stir in the brown sugar until dissolved.
Adjust the sweetness to your preference by adding more or less sugar.
Add the oatmeal and vanilla, then reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes until the oatmeal is creamy.
For a thicker consistency, cook for an additional minute or two.
Divide the oatmeal into serving bowls and sprinkle the chocolate chips on top.
Let the chocolate chips sit for a moment to melt slightly before stirring them in for a marbled effect.
