Description

This warm, comforting gingerbread oatmeal tastes like the holidays in a bowl. Made with deliciously fragrant gingerbread spices — ginger! cinnamon! nutmeg! cloves! — it will make your house smell amazing and your mouth start watering.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups unsweetened vanilla almond milk
  • 2 cups old fashioned oats
  • 3 tablespoons ground flaxseed
  • 1/2 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon all spice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup (plus more for topping, if desired)
  • Optional toppings: Chopped pecans (or your favorite nut), almond butter

Instructions

  1. Heat the almond milk in a saucepan over medium-high heat until it’s near a boil. Add in the oats, flaxseed, spices, salt, and maple syrup, and stir to combine.
  2. Turn the heat down to a low simmer and cook for 7-8 minutes until the oats are tender. Take off the heat and let the oats thicken up if needed. Or, add in more almond milk to thin out the consistency if you prefer.
  3. Top with chopped pecans, almond butter, and additional maple syrup if desired.
