Add dates to a heat safe dish and add enough boiling water to cover the dates.
Allow dates to soak in the boiling water while you prepare your oats.
Add plant milk, vanilla, maple syrup, and cinnamon to a pot and bring to a low boil.
Add the oats and stir occasionally. Cook according to your oats instructions or desired consistency.
Note: Cooking times will vary based on the type of oats you use. For this recipe I used rolled oats which typically take less time to cook and have a softer consistency when cooked. If you use steel cut oats your cooking time will be a little longer.
While the oats are cooking, prepare the cinnamon topping.
Drain water from the dates and add the soaked dates, plant milk, cinnamon, and vanilla to a blender and blend until smooth. If the mixture gets too thick add more plant milk 1 tbsp at a time until you reach a creamy peanut butter like texture.
Continue to stir the oats until cooked and remove from the range.
Add room temperature vegan cream cheese, organic confectioners sugar, and vanilla to a small bowl and mix.
Add your oats to a bowl and top with the cinnamon date topping and vegan cream cheese topping and enjoy it warm!
