Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup rolled oats old-fashioned oats recommended for best texture
  • 1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey adjust to your sweetness preference
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch salt
  • Optional toppings fresh berries, toasted coconut flakes, chopped nuts, seeds, a drizzle of extra maple syrup

Equipment

  • Medium Saucepan
  • Bowls

Method
 

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the full-fat coconut milk and water. Add the rolled oats and a pinch of salt to the saucepan. Stir everything together well to ensure the oats are evenly distributed and won't clump.
    1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk, 1 cup water, 1 cup rolled oats, Pinch salt
  2. Place the saucepan over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent the oats from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
  3. Once simmering, reduce the heat to low. Continue to cook the oats for 10-15 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture has thickened to your desired consistency. The oats should be tender and the liquid will have absorbed, creating a wonderfully creamy texture.
  4. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the maple syrup (or honey) and vanilla extract. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.

  5. Ladle the warm Coconut Cream Oats into bowls. Add your favorite toppings, such as fresh berries for a burst of tartness, toasted coconut flakes for extra crunch and coconut flavor, or a sprinkle of chopped nuts for added texture and healthy fats. A final drizzle of maple syrup can enhance the sweetness even further.

Notes

Store cooked oats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat with a splash of liquid. Freezing is an option but may affect texture.
