Dates and flax seed give this classic oatmeal recipe a delicious, hearty twist! This recipe is easy enough to make everyday, and is the favored morning fuel of WGC staff members during the chilly winter months.
½ cup old fashioned rolled oats
⅔ cup water
1 tablespoon date paste*
1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
2 tablespoons raisins
1 tablespoon sliced almonds
milk, for serving (we used nonfat)
*Date paste is made by soaking dates in water overnight (just barely covered), then blending the dates with their soaking water. Date paste is a versatile liquid sweetener, with a great depth of flavor!
