I created this as a variety to my daily breakfast of oatmeal.
Yield
1 serving
Ingredients
1/2 cup of quick oats, any brand
1 cup non-fat milk or non-fat half-and-half
1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
1/4 cup dried cranberries or raisin
1/2 teaspoon minced crystallized ginger
Instructions
Put all ingredients into a microwaveable bowl and microwave on high setting for approximately 2 minutes and 35 seconds (depending on your microwave, you may require more or less time).
Tried this and have it every morning. I am a diabetic and it is helping my sugar count to stablize for the first time in ten years. Delicious healthy and wholesome. Kids love it too. Great recipe away from the same old blah plain oatmeal.
Can add chopped nuts also.
Pumpkin Spice, nutmeg are all good spices to dust on top. Substitute: ginger with applesauce & nuts. Dollop of whipped topping on top. Add 1 tbsp orange juice with applesauce nuts, raisins, & cinnamon. Add blueberries & French Vanilla half & half
Add blueberries & Hazlenut half & half.
