comments
- E,S -
- D,S - this is like unsweetened oatmeal, definetly better "with dates", they add not only sweetness, but also enhance flavor UPDATE 1 second day taste test, liked it better, it tasted good(? better ?) cold too. UPDATE 2 after eating a few times, it was actually pretty good, it is perhaps that i am getting used to eating "less sweet products", I made another batch and am still liking this version.
WIN = - tried oatmeal only( pre cooked), after soaking (milk+water) actually pretty good, i think this is the win here
[07-dd] version - TRY NEXT
NEXT = ] remove coconut, ] add dates back, ] cook w/Milk/Water 50/50
