Introduction

Yummy gingerbread oatmeal for the holidays! Feel free to lessen the amount of spices for a milder flavour, or even use Torani sugar-free ginerbread syrup instead for no extra calories and all the good gingerbread flavour.

*Modified from a recipe I once read, which used molasses, sugar, and whole milk, for my personal low-cal sugar-free dietary desires.

Ingredients

    1/3 cup quick or regular oats cereal
    2 tbsp unsweetened vanilla Almond Breeze
    1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
    1/4 tsp ground ginger
    1/4 tsp ground cloves
    1/4 tsp allspice
    As many packets no-cal sweetener as you like
    2/3 or 3/4 cup water, depending on how thick you want it
    dash 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.

    Very Good

    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
