Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 4 Medjool dates, pitted and torn into smaller pieces
- 1¼ cups milk (plant-based milk also works well)
- 3/4 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon or cardamom
- Flaky sea salt, for serving
- Fresh fruit, for serving
- Heavy cream, for serving, optional
Directions
- 1In a small pot over medium heat, melt butter and cook, stirring occasionally, until the butter foams and browns, about 2 minutes.
- 2Add dates and ½ cup water and cook, undisturbed, until the dates soften, 1 to 2 minutes. Using a wooden spoon, mash the dates into a paste.
- 3Add milk, oats, vanilla and cinnamon, and stir to combine. Bring to a simmer, then cook, stirring occasionally, until the oats are tender and the oatmeal has reached your desired consistency, 4 to 6 minutes.
- 4Divide the oatmeal between bowls, sprinkle with flaky sea salt and serve with chopped fruit and a drizzle of cream, if desired.
