Gingerbread Oatmeal

I'm in the midst of gingerbread obsession. I created the perfect Gingerbread Spice, and I am using it all the ways! From Gingerbread Hot Cocoa, Gingerbread Chocolate Milk, Gingerbread Butter, and even Gingerbread Oatmeal. I have many more ideas. 

What I love about this oatmeal, besides it tasting like gingerbread; is the oatmeal is soaked overnight, in milk. Once cooked, the oatmeal has a velvety texture.
