The Oatmeal Project: Cherry Almond Date Night Recipe

Recently I enjoyed a generous bowl of oatmeal

at a castle wedding.

I couldn't stop thinking about it.

I decided to purchase a 2.5 Qt. Crock Pot

exactly like this one.

(All research suggested best results achieved with a small 2.5 crock pot)

This was my first bowl of goodness

this morning.

So good for you

and a crowd-pleaser.

Here is my humble recipe:

1 cup Steel Cut Oats

1 cup Regular Oats

2 tbsp. Flax Seeds

2 tbsp. dried cherries

2 tbsp. raisins

2 tbsp. sunflower seeds

2 tbsp. slivered almonds

4 pitted dates rough chopped small

3.5 cups water

At 10 pm or so

coat your crock pot with thin layer oil or spray

to prevent sticking

set on 'low'

Add all the ingredients

then mix in the water

stir well

close lid

Go to Bed

Wake up 

6 am

Enjoy a bowl of dreamy oatmeal

top with a tbsp of almonds

drizzle with real Canadian maple syrup

or topping of choice

(Now you are ready for your 'Date Night')
