Gingerbread Oatmeal

To make the gingerbread oats, you’ll need the following ingredients:
  • steel cut oats
  • ground flax seed
  • almond milk (or milk of choice)
  • gingerbread spice mix (see below)
  • vanilla bean paste (or extract)
  • molasses
  • maple syrup/brown sugar
Optional addons: Protein powder or collagen peptides are always a nice addition to oatmeal to round out the macro nutrients a little more proportionally. You can add a scoop of unflavored or vanilla protein powder or collagen to this recipe without changing any of the ingredient quantities. Pecans or walnuts are a nice garnish and go well with the gingerbread flavor of the oatmeal.
