Date, Almond, and Maple Protein Oatmeal


 Ingredients
1/4 cup oats (gluten-free or regular)
1/4 cup vanilla whey protein powder
1/2 cup coconut or almond milk
1/4 cup ground almonds
1/4 cup chopped dates
1 tsp maple extract (optional but lovely!)

Directions
In a nonstick pot, bring your milk, oats, and ground almonds to a boil. Simmer for 3-5 minutes until you get a thick and "porridgy" consistency.
Remove the oatmeal from the heat and let it cool a bit before topping the whole thing with chopped dates and the maple syrup.
