Gingerbread Oatmeal Instructions
- In a saucepan, add milk, vanilla, maple syrup, molasses and mix together then add in oats, cinnamon, ginger, salt and ground flax seed.
- Mix oatmeal ingredients together and bring to a low simmer.
- Make sure to stir frequently once at a simmer to prevent oats or milk from sticking or burning at the bottom.
- Cook oatmeal for about 5 minutes or until oatmeal is at your desired consistency, then serve as desired.
Sautéed Pears Instructions
- In a separate pan while oatmeal is cooking, add pears, pecans, maple syrup, cinnamon, ginger, and salt to a nonstick pan.
- Stir ingredients to combine and allow pears to cook and soften.
- Continue stirring over low medium heat until syrup and seasoning has completely coated pears and pecans.
- Add over top your bowl of cooked gingerbread oatmeal and enjoy.
Notes
To make these oats or the sautéed pears more decadent, add a teaspoon or two of vegan butter and cook into the recipe towards the end.
