This is my attempt to bring the cookie dough flavor of my favorite holiday cookies into a warm oatmeal breakfast. I may still tinker with this a bit more, but I’ve been pretty happy the with this balance of spices.
Ingredients:
Oatmeal (instant or stovetop)
1 Granny Smith apple
2 tablespoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon cloves
Molasses
Vanilla soy milk – optional
Directions:
Prepare a bowl of plain oatmeal. I like instant and make about a half a cup. In a small jar mix cinnamon, ginger, cloves. Shake to combine. NOTE: This spice mixture is enough for many bowls, so it is a good idea to combine it in a container you can put back on the spice shelf for the next time. Sprinkle some of the spice mixture onto oatmeal, to taste – about a teaspoon or less. Mix. Drizzle molasses over oatmeal, about 1-2 teaspoons. Chop up the apple and stir into oatmeal. Pour in soy milk (I like about a half a cup). Breakfast is served!
Option 2: In place of the apple, microwave frozen peaches and strawberries until hot and add to the oatmeal instead.
