Spooky Stove Top Chocolate Protein Oats

Just some ghosts hanging out at a cemetery, nothing to see here! Halloween is 2 days away and to celebrate I made this Spooky Stove Top Chocolate Protein Oats. Protein oats can honestly taste so bad, but not if you make them my way. Adding the right flavors and sweeteners like cinnamon, nutmeg, honey, and maple syrup can do the trick. So, if you want to have protein oats for your next breakfast, I say give this recipe a try!
