I love how versatile this oatmeal recipe can be! You can replace any seasonal fruit we use here and use any sliced nuts you like for this recipe. There are several great prebiotics we included here: oatmeal, flaxseeds, banana, blueberries and strawberries. 
Not only do those berries have great antioxidants, you can add coco powder, which is also high in antioxidants, for a little chocolate taste. Most importantly, you can make this without any oil and flour.
Dry Ingredients 
- 2 cups whole rolled oats
- ½ cup sliced almonds
- ½ cup hemp seeds

Instructions

*Notes about Date Paste:
Home-Made Date Paste: Soak one cup of pitted dates (any dates are fine) with ½ cup of hot or warm water for 10-15 minutes. Blend the dates with water and it’s ready to us. I usually make more than I need and keep the extra in the refrigerator to use on for any baking or on toast or my regular morning oatmeal. Yum!
