Gingerbread Oatmeal
Deliciously warming and full of flavour some spices, this oatmeal is perfect on cold mornings. Oats bring slow release carbohydrates and the addition of blackstrap molasses is a great way to boost iron intake!
This oatmeal bowl comes together in just a few minutes and you can easily double up the batch for breakfast later in the week! Just add a little more milk when reheating!
