Simple Oatmeal
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cup water
- 4 medjool dates diced small
- dash of salt
- zest of a small orange
- 2 teaspoon coconut oil
- dash of cinnamon
- 3 Tablespoon shredded coconut
- 2 Tablespoon hemp or chia seeds
- 1 cup rolled oats (choose certified gluten free if needed)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- non dairy milk to thin as needed
Instructions
- Pour the water into a small saucepan and begin to bring to a boil.
- While it is heating up, add the dates, salt, orange zest, coconut oil, cinnamon, coconut and hemp/chia seeds.
- Once the water comes to a boil add the rolled oats and reduce the heat to a simmer. Allow to simmer until the oats are soft and cooked through—the oatmeal will be fairly thick.
- Remove from heat. Add vanilla and thin with coconut milk to reach your desired consistency.
- Serve and enjoy!
