Author Notes

I first started experimenting with oatmeal when I dabbled in a 30-day vegan diet two years ago. My originating inspiration was from a restaurant at Pike Place Market in Seattle where one can order up a yummy bowl of oatmeal topped with apples and cashews. This is my latest and most favorite incarnation of this breakfast of champions. —Beetsauce

What You'll Need
Ingredients
  • 1 cup rolled oats, organic if possible
  • 2 1/4 cups water
  • 1/4 cup date pieces
  • 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
  • 2 - 3 tablespoons coconut flakes, organic if possible
  • Pinch of kosher salt
  • Toasted nuts, as much as you like of cashews, walnuts, pecans, pumpkin seeds, sliced almonds – use all some or none
  • Brown sugar, to taste
  • Milk, or non-dairy milk
Directions
  1. Combine oats, water, dates, flax, coconut and salt in a heavy-bottomed pan (1 quart). Set aside.
  2. Chop up nuts into smaller pieces and toast over medium heat. Stir regularly and watch closely so they toast evenly. 5 minutes. Remove from heat. (I like to make myself a cappuccino while the nuts are roasting).
  3. Place pan on medium low heat. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and cook until oatmeal starts to stick to the bottom of the pan, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes or so.
  4. Remove from heat and let sit a minute or two.
  5. Place in your favorite bowls. Add brown sugar, milk and top with nuts. Eat with your favorite spoon

try skipping the sugar and using ginger, nutmeg, and cinnamon instead... :) great warming spices that ignite your energy for the rest of the day.
