Equipment

  • Saucepan

Ingredients

½ cup rolled oats

1 cup milk of choice

3 Medjool dates, pitted and chopped

2 tablespoons chopped almonds

¼ teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

1. Combine the oats, milk, chopped dates, and cinnamon in a saucepan.

    2. Simmer over medium-low heat for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the dates have softened and the oats are thick.

      3. Taste and add a touch of honey only if you'd like it sweeter. The dates are usually enough on their own.

        4. Top with the chopped almonds just before serving.

          Notes

          Medjool dates are softer and easier to chop than drier date varieties, and they break down more evenly as the oats cook.
