Serves: 2

Ingredients

• 1 cup rolled oats**

• 1 1/2 cups almond milk (or milk of choice or water or a mix)

• 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup plus additional to taste

• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

• 1/8 teaspoon ground allspice

• 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg

DIRECTIONS

1. In a small/medium pot, add the oats and almond milk. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.

3. Cook just until the oats are softened and pleasant to chew, but not mushy, about 2 minutes. Taste and adjust spices as you see fit (be careful, a little goes a long way!).

4. Serve hot, topped with additional maple syrup, toasted pecans, or fresh fruit.
