Last year around Christmas time I made my first gingerbread flavored recipe. It was a huge stack of gingerbread pancakes. The taste was on point, but my photography was so bad I don’t even want to talk about it. I won’t show you a picture of those. Let’s just look at the real star of the show.

This gingerbread protein baked oatmeal was so good. I made up my own little gingerbread spice blend. I’m not sure I did it right. I used cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves. It was basically a guessing game of the amounts. I think I guessed right! The cinnamon bun combat protein powder definitely helped the gingerbread flavor as well.

I had to have something to top the oatmeal with. I made a cinnamon ginger greek yogurt cream. And of course a little drizzle of some maple syrup never hurts.

There were some walnuts thrown on too. All these holiday flavors are really making me excited for the holidays. This weather, however, has been very odd. Two days ago it was 9 degrees with a windchill of negative 10. Today was 60 degrees. I’m not sure Indiana knows what season it is in.

I’m gonna at least hope for snow on Christmas. There is nothing better than snow on Christmas.
