Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 2 cups coconut milk (or any milk of your choice)
  • 1/4 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened)
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey, to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Toppings

  • Fresh fruit (such as bananas, berries, or mango, for topping)
  • Chopped nuts (such as almonds or walnuts, for topping)
  • Extra shredded coconut (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, coconut milk, shredded coconut, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. This mixture sets the base for a creamy and flavorful oat dish.
  2. Cook the Oats: Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer gently for about 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats become creamy and have absorbed most of the liquid.
  3. Serve: Remove the saucepan from heat. Portion the coconut cream oats into serving bowls. Top each bowl with fresh fruit, chopped nuts, and extra shredded coconut if desired to add freshness and crunch.

Notes

  • You can substitute coconut milk with any milk of your choice, such as almond, soy, or dairy milk.
  • Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup or honey.
  • Use gluten-free rolled oats if you require a gluten-free version.
  • To add more protein, consider topping with Greek yogurt or a spoonful of nut butter.
  • For a warm variation, gently toast the shredded coconut before adding for a nuttier flavor.
