1.Add the almond milk, rolled oats, maple syrup, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt into your pot. Heat on medium-high heat until bubbling, then reduce the heat to low and let cook. While the oats cook, tear dates into pieces and stir in – the dates will infuse the oatmeal with tons of flavor and sweetness as they cook.
2.Once the oatmeal is done, cover the pot with a lid and let the oatmeal sit for anywhere between 5-10 minutes. This is my secret for getting super creamy oatmeal with the perfect texture. Then pop the oatmeal into a bowl, cover with a drizzle of olive oil, cold milk, and an extra sprinkle of cinnamon.
