Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1.5 cups water
- 0.5 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 4 pieces dried figs, chopped
- 2 tablespoons raisins
- 2 tablespoons almonds, sliced or chopped
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the water, milk, and a pinch of salt, then bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Stir in the rolled oats and reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 5-7 minutes or until the oats are soft and creamy.
While the oats are simmering, toast the almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden and aromatic. Set aside.
Once the oatmeal is cooked, stir in the chopped dried figs, raisins, ground cinnamon, and honey (or maple syrup). Let it cook for another minute to warm the fruit.
Remove the oatmeal from heat and divide it between two bowls.
Sprinkle the toasted almonds over the oatmeal and add more honey or maple syrup if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy!
