Warm date and pistachio oatmeal porridge

Warm date and pistachio oatmeal porridge is a delicious and nutritious breakfast option that combines the natural sweetness of dates with the rich, nutty flavor of pistachios. This recipe is perfect for those chilly mornings when you need something wholesome and satisfying to start your day.

Ingredients:

10.50 dates
250g
2 cups oats
160g
2 cups milk (1% fat)
490g
1.25 cup water
300g
1 dash salt
0.40g
1/2 cup pistachio nuts
60g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dates:
- Pit and chop the dates into small pieces. Set aside.
2. Combine Ingredients:
- In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the oats, milk, water, chopped dates, and a dash of salt.
3. Cook the Oatmeal:
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally to prevent the oats from sticking to the bottom.
- Once it reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low and continue to cook, stirring frequently, for about 5-7 minutes or until the oats are soft and the porridge has thickened to your desired consistency.
4. Add the Pistachios:
- Stir in half of the chopped pistachio nuts into the porridge, mixing well to combine.
5. Serve:
- Spoon the warm oatmeal porridge into serving bowls.
- Sprinkle the remaining chopped pistachios on top of each bowl for added crunch and flavor.
6. Optional Toppings:
- For extra sweetness, drizzle with a bit of honey or maple syrup.
- Add a splash of milk or a dollop of yogurt for creaminess.
7. Enjoy:
- Serve immediately and enjoy your warm, nutritious, and delicious date and pistachio oatmeal porridge!

Tips:

- For a creamier texture, you can use a mixture of regular milk and a splash of heavy cream, or substitute milk with almond or soy milk for a dairy-free option.

- Pre-chop the dates and pistachios the night before to save time in the morning.

- Add a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg for extra warmth and flavor.

- Consider adding a spoonful of honey or maple syrup if you prefer a sweeter porridge.

- Top with fresh fruits like berries, banana slices, or a dollop of yogurt for added nutritional benefits and freshness.

This warm date and pistachio oatmeal porridge is a delightful breakfast treat that’s both nutritious and heartwarming. The combination of chewy dates and crunchy pistachios brings a unique texture and taste to your morning routine. Enjoy this simple yet hearty meal to keep you energized throughout the day.
