Ingredients
  

Rolled Oats
  • 1 cup rolled oats The base of your oatmeal, providing a hearty texture.
  • 2 cups water or milk Use a combination for creaminess or stick to one for a lighter option.
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar Adds sweetness and a hint of caramel flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger The star spice that gives your oatmeal its gingerbread essence.
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon A warm spice that enhances the overall flavor.
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg Adds a nutty, sweet aroma that complements the other spices.
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves A little goes a long way in adding depth to the flavor.
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt Balances the sweetness and enhances the flavors.
  • 1 tablespoon molasses Provides a rich, dark sweetness that is essential for gingerbread.
  • 1/4 cup raisins or chopped nuts (optional) For added texture and nutrition.
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey For drizzling on top, adding a touch of sweetness.
  • 1/4 cup milk or non-dairy milk (for serving) To make your oatmeal extra creamy when served.

Equipment

  • medium saucepan

Method
 

  1. Gather your rolled oats, water or milk, brown sugar, and all the spices.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats with your choice of water or milk. Add the brown sugar and stir to ensure the oats are well-coated.
  3. Sprinkle in the ground ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. Stir the mixture well to combine all the flavors.
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Once it starts bubbling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 5-7 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Add the molasses and any optional raisins or nuts, and cook for an additional minute.
  5. Remove from heat and let it sit for a minute to thicken. Serve in bowls, drizzle with maple syrup or honey, and add a splash of milk or non-dairy milk on top.
