Gingerbread steel cut oats have all of the flavor of your favorite cookie but in a bowl full of healthful goodness!

Ingredients

1 cup uncooked steel-cut oats ($0.70)

1/2 tsp salt ($0.05)

1 tsp cinnamon ($0.10)

1 tsp ground ginger ($0.10)

1/4 tsp nutmeg ($0.05)

1/4 tsp ground cloves ($0.05)

1/3 cup dark molasses ($0.78)

1/2 cup raisins ($0.31)

Instructions

1 In a medium pot, bring 4 cups of water to a rolling boil. Once it reaches a boil pour in the uncooked steel-cut oats. Stir with a spoon and reduce the heat to low.

2 As the oats simmer on low, stir in the salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and cloves. Let the oats simmer until it is to your desired thickness (20-30 minutes).

3 Once the oats have thickened sufficiently, turn off the heat and stir in the molasses. Place one cup of oats in a bowl and top with 1/4 cup of raisins (or portion out all four cups into resealable containers, top with raisins and refrigerate for quick reheatable breakfasts later in the week).
