Moroccan Spiced Orange and Date Oatmeal

Combine rolled oats, water (or milk), ground cinnamon, ground ginger, and ground cardamom in a medium saucepan.

Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low.

Stir in the chopped Medjool dates and orange zest.

Simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats are tender and have absorbed most of the liquid.

Remove from heat and stir in the fresh orange juice.

Divide the oatmeal into two bowls.

Garnish each serving with slivered almonds before serving warm.
