INGREDIENTS

For oatmeal

• 1 cup old fashion rolled oats
• 1 cup cashew milk made with the NutraMilk (I previously had frozen)
• Pinch of sea salt
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg
• 1/4 tsp allspice
• 1/4 tsp ginger
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 tbsp. maple syrup, agave, unrefined coconut sugar or manuka honey

For cashew milk

• 1 cup (150g) cashews
• 1/8 teaspoon Pink Himalayan salt (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS

• Start by making fresh cashew milk with the NutraMilk:
  • Place cashews in the NutraMilk container.
  • Press Butter cycle, set for 3 minutes.
  • Press Start.
  • Open the container lid, add water and replace lid.
  • Press Mix (do not change the default Mix time).
  • Press Start.
  • Press Dispense.
  • Press Start and open spigot to fill your storage container.

• Put the oats in a small saucepan and dry-toast on a low heat until they’re slightly golden and smell like baking biscuits. Mix 1/2 tsp cinnamon and 1/4 tsp each of nutmeg, allspice and ginger with the oats whilst dry-toasting (this really enhances the flavor).
• Add the salt, cashew milk, vanilla and sweetener of choice, turn the heat to medium-high and let the porridge come to a rolling boil.
• Once it has come to a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer and start stirring.
• Pour the oatmeal into a bowl to cool for a couple of minutes whilst you prepare your toppings.
• Top with a fresh fig, a sprinkling of blueberries, cranberries, walnuts and a splash of cold cashew milk.
