When I say that there’s a lot of spices in this oatmeal, I mean just that. There’s a lot of spices in this oatmeal. I’d say it’s well over a tablespoon of spices mixed together that makes this oatmeal stand out from the others in it’s layer upon layer of sugar, and spice, and everything nice!
To lighten this oatmeal up, I used a brown sugar/sweetener in place of regular brown sugar. I also used an unsalted butter so that I could add my own amount of salt in. I also used an unsweetened vanilla almond milk and PLENTY of vanilla extract to really punch up the vanilla flavor in here.
