Servings: 1
Calories: 348kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup milk of choice or water
- 1/2 cup oats I like quick oats
- 1 teaspoon molasses
- 1/2 tablespoon maple syrup brown sugar or honey to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- dash clove
- dash nutmeg
- dash salt
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, add milk, oats, molasses, maple syrup, salt and spices. If you want to add protein powder or collagen peptides, you can add them in the beginning or after the oatmeal has started to thicken.
- Place over medium heat and cook, stirring regularly until thick and hot.
- Place in a bowl, then add any additional toppings.
- Enjoy!
Notes
- I like to add collagen peptides to help keep me full longer and stabilize blood sugar. Another way to add some extra protein is to add in an egg or two when the oatmeal is done cooking. Add the whisked eggs and stir quickly so they cook without becoming chunky.
- Drizzle a little cream or a splash of milk over the oatmeal for a delicious, creamy texture.
- If you do not have molasses, that is totally fine - just skip it. The warm spices still add loads of flavor.
- Don't cook it too high or else the bottom will burn, and it will make your house smell terrible.
- Use dairy free milk for a vegan version or for dairy allergies.
- If you have celiac disease, make sure to choose certified gluten free oats.
