This oatmeal is a warm, healthy, and delicious breakfast. The magic is in the cashew cream, which gives the oats a nice creamy texture without the need for cream. It is quick enough for a weekday breakfast, but indulgent enough to sit down and enjoy on the weekends with a big cup of coffee.

Serves: 1 bowl
Ingredients
For the ginger cashew cream:
  • ¼ cup cashews
  • ½ cup water
  • ½ teaspoon ginger root, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup
For the oatmeal:
  • ½ cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • ½ cup water
  • ½ cup cashew cream
  • ½ cranberries
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
Instructions
  1. For the cashew cream: add all ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth.
  2. For the oatmeal: add oats, water, cashew cream, and cranberries to a small pan on medium-high heat. Stir occasionally and cook for about 5 minutes or until the oats reach your desired consistency. Stir in the chia seeds.
  3. Place oatmeal in a bowl and top with additional cashew cream and a swirl of maple syrup.
Notes
For the creamiest texture it would be best to soak your cashews in water for an hour or even overnight before blending to make the cashew cream. Just drain the cashews and use fresh water when you are ready to go!
