Ingredients
1/3 cup quick or regular oats cereal2 tbsp unsweetened vanilla Almond Breeze1/2 tsp ground cinnamon1/4 tsp ground ginger1/4 tsp ground cloves1/4 tsp allspiceAs many packets no-cal sweetener as you like2/3 or 3/4 cup water, depending on how thick you want itdash salt (optional but included in nutrition info)[If you have Torani sugar-free gingerbread syrup, this can be used for great gingerbread taste instead of the spices and for no extra calories. 1 1/2 - 2 tbsp should do it, depending on tastes.]
Directions
One recipe is a serving.

Mix oats, salt, half the sweetener, and the water together in a bowl. Cook for 1 minute. Add all ingredients except milk; stir well. Cook for another minute. Remove and stir in milk and other half of sweetener.

Alternatively you can cook the oatmeal first for 2 minutes, stirring after 1 minute, and add everything in later for what I feel is a milder flavour.

    I used a full one serving of old fashioned quaker oats which is 1/2 cup. I used pumpkin pie spice ( 1 tsp) which has all the above spices plus cloves. I used sweet and low and NO milk, and a tsp of DaVinci sugar free vanilla syrup. 157 calories later I had a yummy breakfast. Thanks =) - 4/28/09

    Ah, I never thought of using pumpkin pie spice instead of my little mix! Now that you mention it, it makes sense. :) I'm glad my recipe helped you have a yummy breakfast! One of those always makes the day a little better for me! :D

    Great recipe!! Thanks. I am using honey and maple syrup. I can't take the taste of splenda. I just add the extra cal. for it onto the ones you have. - 3/13/10

    I'm constantly on the look out for new ways to (literally) spice up my oatmeal, and this one was excellent! Nice combination of spices, and the microwaving technique worked well.

    I'll definitely make this again! - 1/23/09
