A cold December morning calls for comfy sweats, soft blankets, and bowl of this warming Gingerbread Protein Oatmeal.  Like your favorite gingerbread cookies, this oatmeal has that classic combination of spices and the dark sweetness of molasses thanks to the gingerbread syrup you see drizzled on top (and mixed in).  Pair that with the creamy goodness of oatmeal and you’ve got a breakfast winner!

You might remember the Gingerbread Syrup I used in this recipe from a few other recipes you’ve seen here recently, like this Skinny Gingerbread White Russian or this Eggnog & Gingerbread Protein Ice Cream.  It worked perfectly with this oatmeal.  I kept things simple with some pecans on top of mine, but you could use crumbled gingersnap or gingerbread cookies, dried fruit, or chopped apples instead.

Stay warm out there everyone!
