Ingredients

• 1 cup gluten free rolled oats
• ½ tsp ground cinnamon
• ¼ tsp ground ginger
• ⅛ tsp ground nutmeg
• ⅛ tsp sea salt
• 2 tsp flax meal
• 1 tsp chia seeds
• 2 cups unsweetened almond milk, or 1 cup almond milk and 1 cup water
• ½ tsp vanilla extract
• 4 dried apricots, sliced thin, reserving 2 for the topping
• 2 Tbsp unsweetened dairy-free yogurt, divided, for the topping (optional)
• 2 Tbsp toasted slivered almonds, divided, for the topping (optional)

Instructions

1. In a saucepan, combine the rolled oats, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, sea salt, flax meal and chia seeds. Stir well until the spices coat the oats.
2. Add in the almond milk, vanilla extract and two of the sliced dried apricots, reserving the other 2 for topping.
3. Bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat, stirring often. Once the mixture has reached a gentle boil, turn the heat down. Lower the heat to a gentle simmer, and cook, stirring frequently, until the oats are tender, about 5 minutes.
4. You can adjust the thickness of the oatmeal to your liking, by either adding in a splash of extra almond milk, or you can let it cook another minute or two to help it thicken up even more.
5. Pour the warm oats into 2 bowls and top each with 1 Tbsp dairy free yogurt, 1 Tbsp toasted slivered almonds, and the reserved sliced apricot.
