Ingredients

Scale

Gingerbread Oatmeal

  • 2 Packets Purely Elizabeth Classic Cinnamon Superfood Oatmeal Multipack with Prebiotic Fiber
  • 1 cup almond milk, boiling
  • 1 tbsp creamy almond butter (or any nut butter of your choice)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/8 tsp allspice
  • 1 pinch clove

Caramelized Apples

  • 1 apple
  • 1 tsp coconut oil
  • 1 tsp maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 pinch flaky sea salt

Optional Toppings

  • 1 handful pecan nuts
  • 1 tbsp coconut yogurt
  • 1 tbsp almond butter
  • 1 tsp maple syrup
  • Gingerbread cookies (quantity as desired)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Gingerbread Oatmeal: Place the oats into a bowl and add boiling almond milk. Stir until well combined. Add the almond butter, vanilla extract, ground ginger, nutmeg, allspice, and clove, then stir thoroughly. Let the mixture steep for 2-4 minutes to thicken and allow the flavors to meld.
  2. Caramelize the Apples: Wash and cut the apple into small cubes. Heat coconut oil in a pan over medium heat, then add the apple pieces. Cook for about 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and flaky sea salt. Stir well to coat the apples, and continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes or until the apples become soft and caramelized.
  3. Assemble and Serve: Spoon the gingerbread oatmeal into serving bowls. Top with the warm caramelized apples, a handful of pecan nuts, a dollop of coconut yogurt, extra almond butter, crumbled gingerbread cookies, and a drizzle of maple syrup to taste. Serve immediately and enjoy warm.

Notes

  • You can substitute almond milk with any plant-based or dairy milk of your choice.
  • Adjust spices according to preference for a milder or stronger gingerbread flavor.
  • Use fresh ginger for a more intense ginger taste if desired.
  • Caramelized apples can be made ahead and reheated for convenience.
  • Optional toppings can be customized or omitted for dietary preferences.
