Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats (not quick-cooking)
  • 1 cup milk (any kind or dairy-free)
  • 1 cup water (***may use 2 cups of milk if you prefer - see notes)
  • 3 TBS brown sugar (light or dark)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 TBS molasses
  • 1/2 tsp ginger (ground)
  • 1 tsp cinnamon (ground)
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp cloves (ground)
  • 1/4 tsp allspice (ground)

Instructions

  • In a medium saucepan, mix all ingredients well and cook over medium heat until oats are tender, stirring occasionally (about 10 minutes).
  • Ladle oatmeal into two bowls and top with chopped pecans or walnuts, a drizzle of maple syrup, and milk.
Notes
*The nutritional information does not include toppings. It’s only for the prepared oatmeal.
**The nutritional information was calculated using 2% milk.
***You can use 2 cups of milk instead of 1 cup milk and 1 cup water if you prefer. Using all milk will yield a thicker and stickier oatmeal.
