Maybe I'm the last to hear but I thought the candied ginger was an awesome addition to oatmeal.I used more since I LOVE ginger. Easy recipe to vary to your liking. I omitted the raisins and saved some raw apple for the garnish along with some pomegranate seeds and frozen blueberries. Combo worked well.

This was an enjoyable breakfast - had to use sultanas as I had no raisins and served it with vanilla yoghurt. I, too , left out the sugar as I am trying to cut back !!

I cut this down to serve one & used pecans in place of almonds, this was quite nice, the ginger was very subtle which is good as I'm not that keen on it. I didn't require any additional sweetner as the apples provided enough sweetness for me.

I have made this twice now. The first time I halved the recipe for DH and then this morning both of us enjoyed it for breakfast. I used more than a pinch of pumpkin pie spice and dried cranberries in place of the raisins. This was topped off with milk and maple syrup. This is a definate keeper.

I've enjoyed oatmeal with all of these additions, but never in this particular combination. I used a golden delicious apple and golden raisins as that was what I had on hand. Wasn't sure what to do with the ginger so on the top it went along with a dollop of yogurt. The pie spice and ginger were quite nice together and livened up the apples quite a bit. Will certainly be keeping this one in my morning oatmeal rotation. Thanks.
