Report

Instructions
- 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!
Notes
- Nutrition information does not include optional add-ins.
