Nutty Date Oatmeal Delight

1.In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats and milk. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.

2.Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the oats are cooked and have absorbed most of the milk.

3.While the oats are cooking, prepare the nuts and dates. Chop the almonds and cashews, and pit and chop the dates if not already done.

4.Once the oats are cooked, stir in the chopped almonds, cashews, and dates. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.

5.If desired, add honey for sweetness and cinnamon for flavor. Stir until everything is well incorporated.

6.Taste the oatmeal and add a pinch of salt if needed. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to heat through.

7.Remove from heat and let it sit for a minute before serving. This will thicken the oatmeal slightly.

8.Serve warm in bowls, garnished with extra nuts or a drizzle of honey if desired.
