How to make Gingerbread Oatmeal Porridge.
You need just a handful of ingredients to turn your perfect breakfast porridge to a porridge bursting with gingerbread flavors or should I say spices ?. These ingredients are
- Molasses
- Traditional Oats
Love Oatmeal? Here are other oatmeal recipes to try.
Creamy gingerbread oatmeal porridge
2 cups Traditional oats
2 Tbsp brown sugar
1/8 tsp salt
2 cups of water
2 cups of milk
2 Tbsp molasses
11/2 tsp gingerbread spice mix
Directions:
Put milk and water in a saucepan, add the brown sugar, molasses, salt and gingerbread spice mix. Stir to combine. ( the molasses won’t combine easily yet because the liquid is cold)
Add the oats into the mixture and begin to cook.
Cook on medium low heat till oats are done.
Serve with more milk
