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

INSTRUCTIONS


The Oatmeal:

  1. Add all oatmeal ingredients to the pot on medium-high. Stir to combine the ingredients.

  2. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and allow to cook for about 15 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent burning.

  3. Once thick, remove from stove top.

  4. 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:

  1. 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).

  2. 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:

  1. Add the oatmeal to a bowl and top with toppings of choice.
