Lazy Saturday Morning Oatmeal

1/3 cup of oats
1/2 cup of soy milk
1 small apple cut into bite sized pieces
big dash of cinnamon
little dashes of ground ginger and nutmeg
2 tsp of dark molasses
1 large scoop of peanut butter
chocolate chips - bittersweet

Directions:

Heat milk in a saucepan on low heat. Mix in spices, oats, molasses, and apples - cook until tender. Serve with a big scoop of peanut butter and chocolate chips.

Next time, I plan to soak the oats overnight with 1/2 cup water and 1/2 tbsp. yogurt/kefir. In the morning, the oatmeal would be prepared in the same manner, only the 1/2 cup of soy milk would no longer be necessary.
