Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup plant milk
  • 1 cup  water
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 4 tbsp of date paste (recipe here) or 6 whole dates, chopped
  • 1/4 cup Blueberry Chia Seed Jam. Recipe here
  • 1/2 large banana, sliced into halves
  • 6 large strawberries sliced
  • Silver candy stars

Instructions

  1. In a medium sized saucepan heat plant milk and water over high heat until it reaches a slow boil. 
  2. Add oats, vanilla and chopped dates (if using), pinch of salt and stir. Reduce heat to low.
  3.  Once the oats are thick and creamy, remove from heat and stir in date paste if not using whole dates.  If the oats are too thick add a little more plant milk until it’s to your liking.
  4. Divide oats into bowls. Place blueberry chia seed jam into the upper left hand corner and sprinkle on silver stars. Alternate sliced strawberries and bananas to achieve the look of the American Flag.
