Almond Cinnamon Oatmeal

 

Almond Cinnamon Oatmeal

 

I just finished having almond oatmeal and it was delicious.  I have been vegan for over five years and I notice that I feel the best when I eat mostly raw vegan foods.  I do eat a few steamed veggies at night at times because they are a quick and healthy meal.  I have an old electric wok and I steam veggies like potatoes, cabbage, carrots, onions, and beans.  However, for all of my morning and midday meals, I eat as raw as possible.  This morning I had this wonderful oatmeal with hemp milk. The recipe is from Ani's Raw Food Kitchen. 

 

 

2 cups of oat groats, soaked overnight, and rinsed well

1/2 cup semi-soft pitted dates (I used medjool)

1 TBS ground cinnamon

2 TBS water

1/4 cup almonds

 

Put the soaked oats, dates, cinnamon, and water in a food processor and process until a texture similar to cooked oatmeal.  For a thinner consistency, add another 1/4 cup water.  (I did not do this.)

Then I added the almonds and pulsed a few times until the nuts were chopped a little bit. 

 

Makes four servings.  You can add drizzled maple syrup and any nut milk. The oatmeal should keep in the fridge for up to two days. 

 

Enjoy!
