Packed Oat Milk-Bowl with Nuts and Dates

A delicious oat milk bowl, starring a medley of nuts, dates, oats and cinnamon – a breakfast designed to satisfy and sustain.

This packed oat-milk bowl is a delicious and nutrient-dense choice that combines high dietary fiber, healthy fats, and protein, making it a perfect and heart-healthy option for breakfast.

A serving of this dish is rich in dietary fiber from oats and dates, aiding digestion and providing a slow release of energy. The almonds and walnuts contribute a good dose of healthy monounsaturated fats and protein, which are beneficial for heart health and help maintain muscle mass. Almonds are also a great source of Vitamin E, magnesium, and potassium, which are essential for muscle function, skin health, and nerve function. The inclusion of cinnamon obviously adds flavor and color – but it also possesses anti-inflammatory properties and can help regulate blood sugar levels.

Oats are a great source of soluble fiber, particularly beta-glucan, which helps in lowering cholesterol levels and stabilizing blood sugar. They also provide important vitamins and minerals such as manganese, phosphorus, magnesium, copper, iron, and zinc, which support bone health and energy production. Oat milk, keeps many of the nutritional benefits of whole oats, including a good portion of fiber and protein compared to other plant-based milks. It’s also typically fortified with vitamins and minerals such as calcium, vitamin D, and riboflavin.

Now, again, if those nutritional values don’t get you over the hump – let’s just reiterate that this bowl-o’-goodness is also absolutely delicious.

Good morning!

How to Make a Packed Oat-Bowl with Nuts and Dates

Preparing the Oat Bowl

1. Soak the Dates:

   • In a medium bowl, pour the almond milk and add the pitted dates. Ensure all dates are submerged. Cover the bowl and set aside for about 1 hour to allow the dates to soften.

2. Blend the Mixture:

   • Transfer the soaked dates and the almond milk into a food processor. Pulse on high for about 1 minute until the mixture is fairly smooth.

3. Add Dry Ingredients:

   • To the food processor, add the old-fashioned oats, toasted walnuts, toasted sliced almonds, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Pulse again on high for another minute until all ingredients are well combined and the mixture achieves a creamy consistency.

4. Serve:

   • Pour the mixture into a serving bowl. If the consistency is too thick, adjust by adding a little more almond milk until the desired consistency is achieved.

5. Garnish and Enjoy:

   • Garnish the oat bowl with additional chopped dates, a sprinkle of raw oats, some cinnamon, and a few more toasted walnuts and almonds for added texture and flavor.

Recipe Notes

• Substitutions: Feel free to substitute any other type of nut you prefer or use sunflower seeds for a nut-free option.
• Additional Toppings: Enhance your oat bowl with fresh fruits like sliced bananas or berries, chia seeds, or a dollop of nut butter for extra protein.
