  3. 3

  4. 4

    Add pistachios, dried mulberries, coconut, and chia seeds.

  5. 5

Tips

Tip 1

Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.

Tip 2

Adjust milk ratio for desired consistency; use less for thicker oatmeal.

Tip 3

Moringa powder can have an earthy taste; start with 2 tsp and adjust to preference.

Good to Know

Storage

Cooked oatmeal keeps in refrigerator for up to 3 days in an airtight container. Reheat on stovetop with additional almond milk to restore creaminess.

Make Ahead

Measure dry ingredients and toppings into separate containers the night before for quick assembly.

Serve With

Spoon into bowls and serve warm immediately after cooking for best texture.

Common Mistakes

Watch

Cook on too high heat to avoid oats sticking to pan bottom and burning

Watch

Skip stirring to avoid clumpy, unevenly cooked oats

Watch

Add moringa powder during cooking to avoid flavor degradation from heat
