Gingersnap Oatmeal

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (40g) rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup skim milk (or your favorite milk substitute)
  • 1/2 cup water
  • pinch of salt
  • 1/2 medium banana, sliced into thin pieces
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp (6.5g) wheat germ
  • 1/8 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp ginger
  • 1 tsp stevia
  • gingersnap cookie, crumbled

Directions

In a medium size pan, heat the oats, milk, water, and salt over medium heat. Once the mixture begins to simmer, approximately 5-6 minutes, stir in the sliced banana. Continue to stir, almost whipping, until the banana breaks down and the mixture thickens and becomes creamy, about another 3-4 minutes. I really like adding the banana because it adds so much volume to the oats.

Add the vanilla, wheat germ,  cinnamon, ginger, and stevia, and stir until incorporated. Pour into a serving bowl and top with the crumbled gingersnap cookies.

Hmm…I’m wondering if adding a bit of molasses would be any good. I can’t wait to try these recipes, thanks again!
