- 3 cups old-fashioned oats not quick cooking
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground cardamom
- 1 cup chopped almonds optional: toasted for extra flavor
- 1 cup dried currants
- 1 cup flaked coconut
- Kosher salt to taste

Instructions
- Start by collecting all your ingredients on the countertop. This will make the preparation process seamless and enjoyable.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the old-fashioned oats, freshly ground cardamom, chopped almonds, dried currants, flaked coconut, and a pinch of kosher salt. Stir thoroughly to distribute the spices and flavors evenly.
- If you prefer a deeper flavor, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and spread the chopped almonds on a baking sheet. Toast them in the oven for about 8-10 minutes, or until golden and fragrant. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning.
- When you’re ready to serve, take 1 cup of the cereal mixture and place it in a bowl. Pour 1 cup of sweetened almond milk over the cereal. The milk will soften the oats and meld the flavors beautifully.
- Finish off your bowl with a generous handful of fresh raspberries. Their vibrant color and tartness will brighten up your morning and add a delightful contrast to the warm cereal.
- Dig in! Take a moment to savor the warmth and flavors of your Cardamom Breakfast Cereal with Fresh Raspberries. Each spoonful should be a delightful mix of textures and tastes.
