Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 7 dates, pitted
- 1 1/2 cups (360 ml) oat milk
- 1/2 cup (50 g) toasted walnuts, roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup (50 g) toasted sliced almonds
- 1/2 cup (45 g) old-fashioned oats
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preparing the Oat Bowl
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.
Blend the Mixture
- Transfer the soaked dates and the oat milk into a food processor. Pulse on high for about 1 minute until the mixture is fairly smooth.
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.
Serve
- Pour the mixture into a serving bowl. If the consistency is too thick, adjust by adding a little more oat milk until the desired consistency is achieved.
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.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use homemade oat milk or full-fat canned coconut milk.
- If dates are too sweet, reduce the quantity to 5-6 and add a squeeze of lemon juice for balance.
- Store leftover oat bowl in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; it may thicken slightly.
