Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes
Serves: 2
Difficulty: 2/10
INGREDIENTS
Oatmeal:
1 cup oats (use gluten free oats for gluten free oatmeal)
1.5 cups milk of choice + more to dilute in the morning if oatmeal made ahead (approx. 1/4 cup per serving)
1 mashed banana
1 tsp gingerbread spice mix
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
Optional toppings:
cut pear
chopped walnuts
chopped dark chocolate
INSTRUCTIONS
The Oatmeal:
Add all oatmeal ingredients to the pot on medium-high. Stir to combine the ingredients.
Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and allow to cook for about 15 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent burning.
Once thick, remove from stove top.
Add a little milk if it's too thick for your liking.
** The oatmeal can be prepared in advance and stored in the fridge.
Re-heating:
If prepared in advance, when you’d like to enjoy the oatmeal, remove it from the fridge and add in extra milk (approx. 1/4 cup per serving) until it reaches the desired consistency (add more milk if you like your oatmeal thinner).
Heat it up in a pot on the stove or in the microwave. Stir frequently to prevent burning (stove) or uneven distribution of heat (microwave).
Assembly:
Add the oatmeal to a bowl and top with toppings of choice.
