Servings 4 people
Ingredients
For the Coconut Oatmeal
- 1 1/2 cups Old Fashioned Oats
- 1 cup Almond Milk
- 1 cup Coconut Milk
- 1/4 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1/4 tsp Coconut Extract
- Pinch of Cinnamon
- Pinch of Salt
Optional Toppings
- Fruits
- Nuts and Seeds
- Toasted Coconut Flakes
- Sweetener (ie: agave or honey)
Instructions
- Add the almond and coconut milk into a pot. Heat over medium high heat until the milk comes to a boil.
- When the milk has boiled, add in the oats and stir. Lower the flame to medium and cook for about 3-5 minutes until the oats have absorbed the liquid and have cooked. Halfway through this process, add in the coconut and vanilla extract, salt, and cinnamon.
- Serve the oatmeal in a bowl and top with your preferred toppings. Enjoy!
Notes
*If you prefer a more loose/liquidy oatmeal, slightly increase the amount of almond/coconut milk
*You can replace the 1 cup of almond milk with regular milk if you do not care to make the recipe vegan.
*The exact toppings I used for my oatmeal are: sliced mango, sliced strawberries, blueberries, toasted desiccated coconut, chia seeds, and honey.
