Notes
* Use a good quality cocoa powder here. It should be a vibrant dark brown in color.
In this recipe quick cooking oats provide the best texture. If you have old fashioned oats and want to use them you can pulse them a couple times in a food processor or dry blender to help break them down a bit.
