1 ⅓ cups of water
1 cup rolled oats
10 dates, chopped
2 teaspoons cocoa powder
1 tablespoon ground flax seeds
2 teaspoons desiccated coconut (optional)
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
½ cup frozen blackberries (or other berries of your choice)
Optional toppings: 1 tsp ground or slivered almonds, 1 tsp cacao nibs, sliced banana or other chopped fruit

Stir and add frozen berries and microwave/cook in the pan for a further 3 minutes or until cooked to your liking.
Optional: top with ground or slivered almonds, cacao nibs and banana.
Variations
Fresh fruit works just as well as frozen: this can be added at step 2 so it stews a bit, or just at the end with the other toppings of your choice
