Warm up your chilly mornings with a protein-packed spiced fig and almond oatmeal that’s as cozy as your favorite sweater! It's elevated with chopped dried figs for added fiber and a touch of natural sweetness, along with some of my favorite warm spices plus a boost of plant protein powder.
Oats are a truly spectacular superfood: loaded with essential vitamins and minerals like manganese, molybdenum, phosphorous, B1 and magnesium (for healthy body functioning); fiber (like beta-glucan) for a healthy heart and cholesterol; complex carbs for blood sugar control, sustained energy (or energy replenishment) and even some protein! In addition, oats contain powerful antioxidants and other phytochemicals that can protect the heart, support the immune system and reduce the risk of diabetes.
This recipe is vegan, dairy-free, soy-free and naturally gluten-free. It can be made nut free by substituting the milk and almonds with nut-free options.
