Apple-Cinnamon Oatmeal

goop

A detox version of a classic, this one relies on the natural sweetness of apples and dates to approximate that comforting taste of childhood.

1. Combine diced apple, 2 tablespoons of water, coconut sugar, chopped date, and cinnamon in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring the mixture up to a simmer, lower the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes.

2. Add the oats, remaining 1 ½ cups water, and the salt, and simmer over low heat, stirring often, for 10 minutes. Add more water or a little almond milk if you like a slightly looser texture.

3. Transfer to a bowl and top with toasted chopped walnuts, a pinch of coconut sugar, and a pinch of cinnamon.
