Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup plant-based milk (I love soy or oat milk) (use less or more to taste, see note)
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1/2 tbsp flax seeds
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1 tbsp date powder (optional, see note)
- 1 tbsp almond butter
- fresh or defrosted frozen raspberries, to taste
- toppings to taste: more nut butter, hemp seeds, or nuts are all great! If you want a little extra chocolate, some choc chips are simply divine
Instructions
- Put all of the ingredients except for the raspberries and toppings in a pot and mix well.
- Gently heat for a few minutes until the oats have the consistency and thickness you prefer.
- Serve with loads of fresh berries and your toppings of choice.
Notes
As for the sweetener: If you have it, a tablespoon of powdered date sugar works great here and means the oatmeal is naturally sweetened. Otherwise, a drizzle of maple syrup is so good, too.
As for the amount of plant-based milk: I like my oatmeal on the thicker side, but if you prefer it more runny, use more milk. It’s a good idea to start with a smaller amount and add more as you go. Note that the oatmeal will thicken after it’s done.
