Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1 cup water
  • 4 large Medjool dates, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons sliced almonds
  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin seeds
  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions

  1. Place a medium saucepan over medium heat and allow it to warm slightly.
  2. Add rolled oats, whole milk, water, chopped dates, ground cinnamon, and salt to the saucepan. Stir gently to combine.
  3. Bring the mixture to a light simmer, then reduce heat to medium low.
  4. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the oats are soft and creamy.
  5. Stir in chia seeds and remove from heat.
  6. Spoon into serving bowls and top with sliced almonds and pumpkin seeds.
  7. Serve warm and enjoy.

Notes

  • Stir frequently to prevent the milk from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
  • If the oats become too thick, add a splash of warm milk to loosen the texture.
  • For extra flavor, lightly toast the almonds before topping.
