For you chocaholics out there I’ve got a simple but decadent twist for you at the end…
Ingredients
Oatmeal
1 cup nut based milk (I use almond or hazelnut for a low fat option but coconut milk would be a treat!)
1/2 cup millet, cooked (use 1 cup like I did if you’re really hungry or are going to do a workout!)
1/4 cup gluten free oats
3 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla
2-3 Tbsp stevia crystals/ liquid – or you can use xylitol
1/2 tsp nutmeg
Caramel
5 dates (preferably organic medjool dates) – never buy pitted – pit them yourself
1/2 cup almond milk.
I did add in a couple of tablespoons of my homemade nutella recipe just because I’m a chocaholic.
Glaze
2 Tbsp melted Coconut oil (organic, extra virgin, cold pressed)
3 Tbsp Maple Syrup (organic, grade C)
Sevenhills raw, organic cacao butter (5 of these ‘buttons’ melted)
1/2 cup nut based milk (I use almond milk but cashew or coconut milk would be divine)
1 Tbsp lucuma powder
1 tsp vanilla powder
pinch of pink himalayan salt
Chocolate twist
Click here for the recipe and instructions – but be sure to replace the hazelnuts with pecans for this Cinnamon Bun Oatmeal recipe! The flavours just go so perfectly! Ahh!
Instructions
Oatmeal
Blend milk with all ingredients apart from the millet and oats. Put cooked millet and oats into a glass bowl for cooking, and pour milk mixture in. Cook in oven at 180 degrees celcius until golden or until the milk has been mostly absorbed, or just cook in the microwave for 2-3 minutes. Top with more cinnamon!
Caramel
Simply blend all ingredients until smooth, thick, and creamy.
Glaze
Simply blend all ingredients while your oatmeal is cooking, keep in fridge until ready to serve. Pour over oatmeal with caramel sauce and raisins if you are into that.
