Christmasy Gingerbread Oatmeal

this …

This easy oatmeal recipe has all of the warm and cozy spices you love in a classic gingerbread cookie, but it’s healthy! And it comes together in less than 10 minutes.

• Cinnamony and gingery with just a touch of sweetness
• Warm and comforting
• Tastes like freshly baked Christmas cookies with a cold glass of milk when you serve the oats piping hot with a splash of cold soy milk on top. Such a great combo!
• Adding crunchy and chewy toppings like toasted walnuts and tart cranberries makes this oatmeal taste even more cookie-like 😊

Servings 2 servings

Ingredients

  

• 1 cup old fashioned oats
• 2/3 cup soy milk unsweetened
• 1 cup water
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp ground ginger
• 1 good pinch of each allspice, ground cloves, and kosher salt
• 1 tsp molasses
• 1 tbsp chia seeds
• 1 tbsp maple syrup

Toppings

• chopped walnuts
• dried cranberries
• cold soy milk

Instructions

 

• Combine the soy milk and water in a saucepan and bring to soft boil. Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the oats and spices. Stir and reduce heat to medium low (4 out 10) and place a lid ajar on top. Cook for 5-6 minutes. Stir occasionally. 
• Turn off the heat and add the molasses, chia seeds, and maple syrup. Mix well and taste the oats to see if you’d like to add another splash or two of soy milk or more spices/sweetness, etc.

  Once perfect, divide into two bowls and top with crunchy toasted walnuts, tangy cranberries, and a splash of cold soy milk for a fun “milk and cookies” effect 😊

Notes

You may want to add another splash or two of soy milk to the oats if it looks a little to thick while cooking. I prefer my oats to be very thick and creamy, but you can thin it out with more milk or water until you reach the desired consistency. 

 

The chia seeds are optional but they help thicken the oatmeal and some extra protein and fiber too! 

 

You can add more maple to the oats while cooking or on top for added sweetness 👩🏻‍🍳
