Peach + Date Oatmeal

Peach + Date Oatmeal

SERVES 2

It is peach season! This pairing of peach with dates in oatmeal is amazing! This a perfect breakfast at the change of seasons because it is slightly sweet which is a balancing taste for pitta and for vata.

DOSHAS

Vata - Good for vata. Can add more ghee after cooking. :)

Pitta - Good for pitta.

Kapha - Try quinoa or barley instead of oats. Reduce ghee.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 tbsp ghee

• 1 cup rolled oats (I like a thicker cut)

• 1/2 tsp cinnamon

• 1/2 tsp cardamom

• 2 cups purified water

• 1 peach sliced into bite size pieces

• 2 dates - take out the pits and chop into small pieces

• Toppings:

  • Cinnamon

  • Hemp, flax or chia seeds (optional)

DIRECTIONS

1. In a medium saucepan on medium heat add ghee and spices. Then add oats. Stir to coat and begin gently toasting the oats. Stirring frequently to avoid burning.

2. Once the oats are toasted (they will be fragrant and just slightly brown) then add water and bring to a boil. Turn to medium low heat and while it is cooking — prep then add peaches and dates. Cook for about 10 minutes total.

3. Add topping(s) and serve. Enjoy!
