Ingredients

For the porridge

  • 2 dl Oats
  • 4 1/2 dl Water or plant based milk
  • 1 tsp Cardamom
  • Pinch of Salt (optional)

For the topping

  • 1 dl Almond milk
  • 1 dl Coconut cream whipped
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1-2 Dates pitted
  • 1-2 dl Almonds
  • Water, to thin

Instructions

  • Bring water or milk to a shimmer in a pot.
  • Add the oats, cardamom and salt (if using) to the pot and stir together.
  • Let the oats cook until they are soaked and the texture has thickened. Stir occasionally.
  • Meanwhile heat the almond milk for the topping in a separate bowl on low heat.
  • Mix the almonds (but keep about 1/2 dl to top) and dates with just a little bit of water in a high speed blender until desired texture. I like to keep some crunches left.
  • Combine the whipped coconut cream with some cinnamon.
  • Remove the porridge from the heat and let it sit for a few minutes with the pot covered with a lid.
  • Divide the porridge between two bowls. Pour the warm almond milk over the porridge and top it with coconut cream, almond paste, roughly chopped almonds and some more cinnamon.
