You start this recipe the night before you want the oats.
The night before you want your oatmeal, bring 1 1/2 cups of water to boil in a small pot. If you are multiplying the recipe to make enough for more than one person you don't have to worry so much about the pot size, but if you are making one serving make sure you have a small enough pot so that the oats don't just burn and stick to the bottom. Anyways, once the water starts boiling add the oats and salt. Let boil for 1 1/2 minutes, while stirring and lifting the pot occasionally to prevent it from boiling over. Then remove from heat, cover with a lid, and let sit overnight.
In the morning, remove the lid, add 1 cup of water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium, add butter or coconut oil and cook uncovered for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Meanwhile, caramelize the plums. Heat butter or coconut oil in a small pan over medium heat. Once hot, add plums. Stir occasionally and after about 2 minutes add the sugar. Cook for another minute or so till the plums are caramelized and ever so slightly chard.
After the oats are done cooking, add the remaining ingredients. Stir well and cook a bit longer to warm up the oatmeal. Then transfer the oatmeal to a bowl, top with caramelized plums, chop up the almonds and sprinkle them on top, and enjoy!
