Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups water
- 0.5 cup milk (or plant-based milk)
- 2 tablespoons date syrup
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 2 tablespoons chopped dates
- 2 tablespoons slivered almonds
- 2 tablespoons shelled pistachios
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
In a small skillet over medium heat, toast the slivered almonds and shelled pistachios for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently to avoid burning. Set aside for later use.
In a medium pot, combine the rolled oats, water, and salt. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the oats have absorbed most of the water and the mixture becomes thick and creamy.
Stir in the milk, date syrup, ground cinnamon, and ground cardamom. Continue cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated.
Remove the pot from the heat and gently fold in the chopped dates.
Divide the oatmeal into two bowls. Top each serving with the toasted almonds, pistachios, and an extra drizzle of date syrup, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy the desert-inspired flavors!
