Decadent Tasting Ginger Pear Oatmeal

• 1/2 cup quick-cooking oats
• 1 cup water
• 2 tablespoons candied ginger, chunked up (2 pieces)
• 1/2 cup canned pears, chunked (in their own juice)
• 1 tablespoon Splenda brown sugar blend
• 1 1/2 tablespoons fat-free half-and-half

1. Place the 1 cup water in a pan and bring it to a boil.
2. When it is boiling add the oatmeal and cook for 30 seconds to a minute. Then add the ginger and stir.
3. Wait a moment and add the canned pears and stir.
4. At this point the oatmeal should be done, but if you like it mushier feel free to let it cook longer.
5. Transfer the oatmeal and fruit to a bowl. Sprinkle the brown sugar substitute (or real brown sugar if you are so inclined) over the top. Then drizzle the half and half over the top.
6. Stir it all together and enjoy.
