Heat a small skillet over medium heat. Melt the butter and add the oats. Toast for 4-5 minutes. Add the cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and maple syrup and heat through, for about a minute. Remove from the heat and transfer to a small bowl to cool.
For the Smoothie Bowl
Add all smoothie ingredients to a blender and mix. This takes about 60 seconds in my Ninja blender. Pause and scrape the sides down as needed. Add additional oat milk, a tablespoon at a time, only if needed to blend.
To Serve
Pour the smoothie mix into a bowl. Top with a tablespoon of the toasted oats, a chopped date, and 2 teaspoons of melted peanut butter. Serve.

Notes
Adjust the thickness to your preference. Smoothie bowls are generally thicker than smoothies because you garnish them and eat them with a spoon instead of drinking with a straw.To make it a thinner drinkable smoothie, add more liquid, skip the garnishes, and pour into a glass.To make a thicker smoothie bowl, don’t add all of the liquid or add more frozen fruit and blend as needed.
