Ingredients
Equipment
- Large saucepan
- Large wooden spoon
- Serving bowl
Cooking Process
- Bring 1 cup of water to a boil in the saucepan.
- Add 1 cup of oatmeal to the hot water and stir. Then add 1 cup of coconut milk and stir everything together well.
- You can wait to add the dates until later, but Judith likes to add them to the cooking mix because the heat brings out the sweetness and they soften nicely. You can leave a few out, though, to top off the oatmeal at the end.
- Add your 1 tbsp of coconut to the saucepan and 1 tsp of agave nectar and stir well.
- Pour into serving bowl, top with the rest of the dates and enjoy!

Cooking With Judith
- When she makes a serving for one person, Jones likes to use two parts liquid to one part oatmeal. That's why she uses 1 cup of water and 1 cup of coconut milk.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7JWuuNYI08&feature=player_embedded#at=40
- Dates are already very sweet, so Jones only likes to add 1 tsp of agave nectar. You can choose to skip the agave at your discretion.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7JWuuNYI08&feature=player_embedded#at=40
- You can also choose to add nuts if you want an extra crunch.
