Eggnog Oatmeal

This fragrant and creamy oatmeal is the ultimate way to start a cold December morning. Heck, it might be how I start my Christmas morning!

Serves 1

Ingredients:

1/4 cup steel cut oats
1/2 cup So Nice Noel Nog
1/2 unsweetened original almond milk
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp nutmeg
1 tbsp ground flax seed
1/2 tsp rum extract

Instructions:

Add all ingredients, except for the ground flax seed and rum extract, to a small sauce pan.
Cook over medium high heat until it’s just about to boil, reduce heat to low and continue to cook. Note: as soon as the milks reach a boil they will boil over, so be careful. It’s better to turn the heat down too early than too late!!!
Stirring frequently, cook until desired consistency is achieved (approximately 10-15 minutes).
Remove from heat and stir in ground flax seeds and rum extract.
Top with extra cinnamon and nutmeg, if desired, and enjoy!
