It's COZY SEASON and what's warmer than an easy, one-bowl oatmeal bake? Imagine this: you wake up on Christmas morning to the smell of gingerbread spice as it fills the air. You roll out of bed and have tea or hot chocolate (your choice) and sit down for a healthy, warming breakfast bake. Doesn't it sound AH-MAZING? Well, let's make it happen. ;)

- 2x Mylk Labs Coconut & Cinnamon Oatmeal Cups* see notes

- Preheat oven to 350°F, and line a 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper.

*Each oatmeal cup can be replaced with a heaping 1/2 cup of quick oats.
**If you don't have all these spices at home, feel free to buy premixed gingerbread spice and replace allspice, cloves and ginger with 1-1/2 tsp gingerbread spice.
