Step 1: Bring water to a boil. Stir in oats, cocoa powder, coffee granules, and salt. Bring back to a boil and reduce heat to low. Simmer uncovered for 20 to 30 minutes, stirring frequently, until the oats reach your desired tenderness.
Step 2: Remove from the heat and stir in the sweetener.
Step 3: While the oatmeal cooks, roughly chop the mixed nuts and chocolate chips. Set aside in a small serving bowl.
Step 4: When the oatmeal is ready, serve hot with milk or cream on the side, and sprinkle with the nut and chocolate mixture.
