- 1 cup Old-fashioned oatmeal
- 2 cups Water
- 0.5 cup Milk (or plant-based milk)
- 0.25 cup Chopped dates
- 2 tablespoons Chopped walnuts
- 1 tablespoon Splenda (granulated)

Instructions
In a medium saucepan, bring water to a gentle boil over medium heat.

Lower the heat to medium-low and cook the oatmeal for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Stir in the chopped dates, Splenda, and milk. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the oatmeal reaches your desired consistency and the dates begin to soften.
Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Divide the oatmeal evenly into two bowls. Top each bowl with a tablespoon of chopped walnuts.
If desired, add fresh fruit like banana slices or berries for extra flavor and nutrition.
Serve warm and enjoy your wholesome Splenda Walnut Date Oatmeal!
