Ingredients
2 1/2cupswater
1cupold-fashioned rolled oats
1large or 2 small apples(peeled if desired and diced)
Bring water to a boil in a pot. Immediately add the oats, apples, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, dates, and goji berries. Stir until combined. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook for 15 minutes.
Uncover the pot, and stir in the Chinese sugar and vanilla.
Cover and let sit for another 5 minutes to thicken. If the oatmeal is too thick for your liking, you can add water. If it’s not thick enough, cook it a little longer. The oatmeal will thicken as it sits, so you can always stir in additional water if needed.
Sprinkle with nuts, and top with any optional ingredients if desired. Serve!
