Chocolate Guinness Stout Oatmeal With Pecans And Greek Yogurt

• 1 cup Guinness Stout
• 1/2 cup milk of choice, or water
• 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
• 1 dash salt
• 1 handful crushed pecans, plus more for topping
• 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup
• 2-3 Greek yogurt

1. In a small saucepan, heat the Guinness over low heat so that it comes to a gentle simmer. Keep it steady, giving it the occasional stir. Let it boil until you are left without half the original amount, more or less. (The more you boil, the more concentrated the flavor.)
2. Add in the milk/water, oats, and salt. Bring to another boil over medium heat, folding the oats into the stout mixture.
3. When the oats start to thicken, about 3 minutes, stir in the cocoa powder, vanilla, and maple syrup. Make sure that there are no clumps of cocoa remaining. Add in the nuts, so they begin to soften with the heat, and release their aroma.
4. When the oatmeal has reached the desired consistency (usually about 5-7 minutes), transfer to a bowl or dish.
5. Top with Greek yogurt, and more pecans. Enjoy.
