Ingredients

• 1 cup organic rolled oats
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup (you can use less, or you can use brown rice syrup to make it more superhero!)
• 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts
• 1/3 crisp apple, cut in cubes
• 5 dates (about), pitted and chopped
• 1/2 pinch fine sea salt to taste
• 3 shakes of ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon (scant) flaxseed oil

Directions

1. Bring a kettle of water to boil
2. Combine the oats, syrup, nuts, apple, and dates in a bowl
3. Add a pinch or two of salt, then pour enough hot water to just cover the oats (don't add too much, or it will be too watery)
4. Cover the bowl with a plate or pot lid, and let the oatmeal stand until the oats have absorbed the water
5. Stir, and add a little more water if the oats look too dry
6. Let the oatmeal cool a little, and then drizzle with the flaxseed oil
