1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice ( original recipe called for ground cloves)
1 pinch nutmeg
1 teaspoon honey ( I omit, but my daughter adds 1 package of Equal after cooking for sweetness)
1 1/2 cups milk
sometimes i add finely diced dried fruit, like apricots (optional) or cranberries (optional) or raisins (optional) or sometimes i add toasted chopped walnuts (optional) or almonds, after cooking depending on my mood and what is on hand (optional)
Directions:
Combine oatmeal and flavourings in a deep, microwave safe bowl.
Add milk and stir to combine.
Cook on high power for 2 minutes, then stir.
Continue cooking and stirring at one minute intervals until the oatmeal is as thick as you like.
Top with favourite toppings. I like plain yogurt and a touch of maple syrup.
