Calories 173kcal
Equipment
- 1.5 quart casserole dish with lid (or use foil to cover tightly)
Ingredients
- 1 cup oat groats rinsed
- 2 Tbs. raisins
- 2 dates
- 1 whole apple coarsely grated
- 1 tsp. Ceylon cinnamon
- ½ tsp. coriander ground
- 4 cups water
- ¼ tsp. salt
- 1 Tbs. vanilla extract (not imitation)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Place rinsed oat groats in casserole dish.
- Add all other ingredients and stir to mix.
- Cover tightly with lid or tin foil.
- Bake for 2 hours, covered. Most of the liquid will be absorbed by then, but it should not be dry.
- Serve warm. May be refrigerated and rewarmed to eat. Chilling will thicken it, so you may need a bit of unsweetened non-dairy milk or water to thin it a bit.
Topping Suggestions (not included in nutritional calculations):
- Fresh or raw berries of any kind.
- A few raw or lightly toasted nuts.
- Some freshly ground flax, chia, or sesame seeds (or a mix).
- A few sunflower or pumpkin seeds.
