Fall Harvest Oatmeal

Jump to recipe

There’s something about oatmeal in the fall and wintertime, something warm and filling to shore up the holes in your belly, setting you up, well grounded to face a frosty day. This oatmeal is packed with fresh apples, pumpkin and antioxidant and mineral rich dried fruit. These days I’m usually just cooking for two so when I make this full recipe I freeze single portions to reheat later on days that I don’t feel like cooking.

The coconut butter is particularly delicious, as it has the meat from young coconut pureed into it to make it a slightly sweet, more substantial spread that adds healthy fats to help you feel satiated longer.

Pink salt has a less “salty” flavor than normal table salt so don’t worry too much about adding it to the mix as the electrolytes and minerals that it brings to the table are good for you.

If you want to mix up the dried fruit, I suggest some dried cranberries, dried apricots, or raisins though I really like the wolf berries with the apples and dates. Keep in mind the dates have a lot of natural sugar so keep a light hand with the sugars, you can always add more sugar or maple syrup to taste. Dates are rich in trace minerals and are an excellent adjunct to the wolf berries.

Enjoy!!!
