Oatmeal Mondays

I bought crystallized ginger at the store the other day so I've been mixing it into muffins, oatmeal, cookies, etc.  It lends a spicy note to whatever you're eating and I adore it.  Here I added it to my morning oatmeal.  

Double Ginger Oatmeal

1/2 C old fashioned oats
1 t chopped crystallized ginger
sprinkle ground ginger
1/2 large peach, peeled and diced
1/2 large banana, chunked
1 T chia seeds
water to cover

Combine all ingredients in microwave safe bowl.  Cook 2.5 minutes and then stir well.

Chewy from the crystallized ginger, creamy from the banana, crunchy from the chia seeds, sweet from the peach, and spicy from the ground ginger, this oatmeal is jam packed with varying textures and flavors.
