Start your day with a flavor-packed breakfast with our Orange Flower, Pistachio, and Date Oatmeal. This recipe combines the nutty flavor of pistachios, the sweetness of dates, and the subtle floral hint of orange flower water, creating a delightful morning meal.
Using rolled oats, this oatmeal cuts the cooking time to minutes, offering a delicious, nourishing, and time-efficient breakfast option.
You all know how much I love my oatmeal, and I wake up every morning ready to have a delicious bowl!
Rolled oats are sometimes underrated, but almost anyone can fit them into a morning routine. Why are they called rolled? Rolled oats are lightly steamed and then put through a roller.
Rolled oats are quick and easy since they cook on the stove in only 5 minutes. I love that!
If you grew up on instant oatmeal, you’ll find that Old Fashioned Rolled Oats have a slightly chewier, appealing texture.
I chose a Middle Eastern flavor profile for my bowl. The main additions are pistachios, dates, and cinnamon. But the agave nectar (or use maple or date syrup) mixed with the orange flower water is a powerhouse of flavor.
It adds sweetness, and the flower aroma will brighten up your whole day.

Wow that’s an incredible flavour combination right there. Quaker Oats are awesome and that chewy texture is just the best. And I also love the ingredient substitutes you’ve provided too, pretty much two recipes in one. Can’t wait to mix and match. Thanks heaps! 🙂
