half of the steel cut oat porridge base (from above)
2 cups almond milk/other plant milk of choice, plus more if needed
about 3 dates - pitted and chopped
4-5 prunes - chopped
3-4 dried apricots - chopped
handful of raisins
dash of cinnamon (optional)
1 tablespoon neutral coconut oil/ghee (optional)
¼ cup toasted pine nuts or other chopped nuts of choice (optional)
hemp hearts (optional)
Instructions
Combine the plain steel cut oats porridge base, almond milk and all the dried fruits in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, lower the heat to a simmer and cook, covered, for 10 minutes. Stir periodically to prevent the porridge from sticking to the bottom. Add more almond milk or water, if the porridge becomes too dry. Add the cinnamon and mix in the oil or ghee, if using. Serve the porridge sprinkled with pine nuts and/or hemp hearts, if using.
Store porridge leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat as much porridge as you need every morning by heating it up in a small saucepan with more almond milk or water, stirring, until warm and creamy.
