Creamy Sweet Potato Oatmeal

Creamy Sweet Potato Oatmeal

Serves 2-4

2 cups almond milk

1/2 cup water (or more almond milk if you have it)

1/2 tsp salt

2 cups whole oats

1/2 sweet potato, grated

4 dried apricots, chopped (optional)

sugar to taste

Heat almond milk over medium high heat 3 minutes, stirring and watching closely.  Almond milk will boil over really fast and is a total mess to clean up, not to mention a waste of some hard earned fresh almond milk.  Stir in oatmeal, sweet potato, apricots and salt.  If the mixture seems dry, add the water or more almond milk.  You want the oatmeal to be able to move around freely in the liquid when you stir it, but not too wet so it won't absorb it.  Cook over medium high heat for a couple minutes, stirring constantly.  Bring heat down to very low and cover the pot.  Let it sit 10 minutes or until oatmeal is done and sweet potato is tender.  Cover the top with a layer of natural vegan sugar and mix it in, let it heat 2 minutes and serve hot, or if you have time to plan ahead, let it cool one hour and serve cold for the best tasting option (or at least, I think it is).  Enjoy :)
