- Simmer on low, uncovered, for 20-25 minutes, stirring every 5 mins or so (or per instructions). If you have soaked the oats overnight, cook for approximately 5 minutes, until they are creamy
- Stir in the ground flax, hemp, and chia seeds. Stir in the chopped dates.

Tips
Add Fruit: Keep it exciting and try new combinations. Add sliced banana/strawberries, blueberry/raspberry, mango/coconut, apple/cardamom.
Creamy texture: cook your oats in plant-based milk instead of water.
Save Time: soak the oats overnight to cut down on cooking time (to 10 minutes) and improve digestibility. Place oats in a bowl or pot, fill water to cover and cover with lid or cloth and soak overnight at room temperature. Rinse oats in the morning and cook.
Batch Cook: Allow to cool before transferring to air tight containers, top with walnuts and refrigerate. In the morning, add a splash of milk of choice and reheat in the microwave or on the stove-top.
