This was my decadent tasting gift to myself this morning (in an attempt to avoid all the baked goods that keep cropping up at work this holiday season). I modeled it on toni gifford's Ginger Peach Oatmeal #112474 which I love and eat often. But this is just enough different that I decided to post it so I'll remember. I loved it, but I love candied ginger. In fact, I may add more next time.

SERVES 1 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1/2 cup quick-cooking oat
1 cup water
2 tablespoons candied ginger, chunked up (2 pieces)
1/2 cup canned pears, chunked (in their own juice)
1 tablespoon Splenda brown sugar blend
1 1/2 tablespoons fat-free half-and-half

Directions

1
Place the 1 cup water in a pan and bring it to a boil.
2
When it is boiling add the oatmeal and cook for 30 seconds to a minute. Then add the ginger and stir.
3
Wait a moment and add the canned pears and stir.
4
At this point the oatmeal should be done, but if you like it mushier feel free to let it cook longer.
5
Transfer the oatmeal and fruit to a bowl. Sprinkle the brown sugar substitute (or real brown sugar if you are so inclined) over the top. Then drizzle the half and half over the top.
6
Stir it all together and enjoy.

This was really nice, I'm not really a ginger fan but the taste was so subtle & not overpowering. I didn't need to add any sweetner as the crytallized ginger & pears were enough for me & instead of water I used a little pear juice & milk combined.

This is a wonderful breakfast treat which I have now made twice for DH and me. I did not have canned pears; however, did have fresh. I cored, peeled and diced a fresh pear and cooked it in the water the ginger for a few minutes before adding regular oats instead of the quick-cooking. I also added a touch of cinnamon the second time around and it was wonderful.

No surprise here, I loved this. The pear-ginger combination gives a different flavor and texture to my favorite breakfast food. I tend to like my oatmeal a bit looser than most, so I added and extra quarter cup of water. Next time, I'm thinking about adding a bit of the pear juice. Yummmy!
