Applesauce Oatmeal

Applesauce Oatmeal
1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 cup raisins
1/4 cup applesauce
1/4 cup water
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1-2 teaspoons almond butter (optional)

In a small, microwave-safe bowl, stir together the oats, spices, and raisins. Stir in the remaining ingredients. Microwave on HIGH (100%) power for about 90 seconds, until set. 
The almond butter adds a little extra flavor and protein, but isn't necessary. I like to spread a little extra on top after cooking. The addition of a few chopped nuts would also be welcome.

This is another quick, individual, hearty breakfast. Can you tell breakfast is my favorite meal of the day? It is similar to {Pumpkin Spice Oatmeal}. If you have leftover mixture from Vegan French Toast, this can be used in place of the applesauce, spice, and vanilla.
