Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups almond milk
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1 cup cracked oats
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon coconut butter
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- Freshly grated nutmeg, to taste
- Pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- In a large saucepan, combine water and almond milk. Bring liquids to a boil, then quickly stir in cracked oats. Let mixture return to a boil, then simmer.
- Let mixture cook over medium-low heat, stirring often. Once oats begin to thicken, stir in coconut butter, maple syrup, spices and salt. Let cook until reaches your desired consistency - usually about 20-25 minutes total.
for blackberry compote:
- 1 pint blackberries
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 lemon, juice and zest
- 6-8 lemon verbena leaves
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- While oats are cooking, add all compote ingredients to a small saucepan. Bring mixture to a boil, then simmer and let berries reduce.
- Once berries have broken down and compote has thickened, set aside to cool.
- When oats are finished cooking, top with a healthy dollop or blackberry lemon verbena compote. Serve immediately!
