Oatmeal with Dates and Goji Berries

June 13, 2020 by Rhelena 2 Comments

Here is a super simple way boost your morning oatmeal. It’s sweetened naturally with dates. The goji berries also add a touch of sweetness, but my main reason of putting them in is for their powerful antioxidants.

This recipe can be made with any oatmeal that you have in your cupboards. Simply follow the instructions on the package while also adding in my modifications.

Goji berries are also known as wolfberries. They can be found at most health food stores, or in the “health food” sections of some grocery stores.

Other ways to enjoy goji berries are in trail mixes and smoothies. Or soak them in some drinking water for some yummy finger foods for the little ones.

Oatmeal with Dates and Goji Berries

This recipe makes 1 serving. You may need to adjust the water to oatmeal ratio with additional servings, as per package instructions.
Servings: 1 serving

Ingredients

  • 4 pitted whole dates
  • 1 cup water (Check package instructions)
  • 1/3 cup oatmeal
  • 1/3 cup milk

  • Follow instructions on package and cook oatmeal accordingly.
  • Once oatmeal is cooked stir in your milk and simmer for an additional minute or two.

    Hey Rhelena, cool website! I’ve branched out into another area, too. Still crocheting, but my passion for it is cooling a bit. As for your recipe, I usually add raisins and cranberries to mine. Gogi berries are a great idea. I know how powerful they are. Thanks for the recipe! Thinking about adapting it to a cookie recipe, gluten-free of course.

      Thank you Patrice 🙂 It’s good to hear from you. Raisins and cranberries sounds delicious and healthy too, especially the cranberries.

      Where are you blogging at these days? I still love to crochet, but have not had time to really experiment with stitch patterns to create anything new lately, so I thought I’d start posting some of my recipes and other stuff that are part of my daily activities. Hopefully soon I’ll be able to get back to working with everyone again.
