Add your three cups of water to a pot and bring the pot to a boil on high heat. Add your steel cut oats and salt to the water, reduce the stove to low heat (to simmer) and put the lid on your pot.

Simmer for 15-20 minutes, or till the oats are cooked through, stirring occasionally. The oats should be tender enough that they aren't completely chewy, but still have a bit of chew to them.

Remove the oats from the heat, and add in your cocoa powder, honey, vanilla and chocolate chips. Stir until everything is well combined.

Serve into bowls and top with your favorite toppings of choice. Extra chocolate chips are always a good choice!
