1 1/4 c. hot coffee
1 c. 3 minute brand oats
1/2 c. butter
1 1/2 c. sugar

Pour hot coffee over the oats. Set aside for 20 minutes. Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Blend in vanilla, eggs, chocolate and soaked oats. Mix well.

Sift together flour, soda and salt. Fold into above mixture. Stir in the chocolate chips. Pour the batter into a greased and floured Bundt pan.
