Dreamy Creamy Oatmeal


I went to bed thinking that I'd make oatmeal for breakfast & I literally dreamed this recipe. This recipe is for one but you can simply multiply for more.

Dreamy Creamy Oatmeal

 1/2 cup old fashioned oats
1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
(or your milk of choice)
3 teaspoons ground flax meal
1 Medjool date
1 tablespoon raw pepitas
5-6 strawberries

Pit & cut date into small pieces. Place oats, milk, 2 teaspoons of the flax meal & date in a saucepan, on medium heat. Cook, stirring often, into a creamy porridge consistency. Turn heat down if needed.
Cut strawberries into bite size pieces.
Place oatmeal in a bowl, sprinkle with the remaining teaspoon of flax meal & the pepitas. Top with strawberries & enjoy!

Here's a good link to the benefits of flax.
