Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup coconut cream (full-fat)
  • 1 cup milk or plant-based milk alternative (such as almond or coconut milk)
  • 12 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients, ensuring your coconut cream is well stirred to combine any separated liquid before measuring. This step maintains a creamy texture in the final dish.
  2. Combine Oats and Liquid: In a medium saucepan, add the rolled oats, coconut cream, and your choice of milk or plant-based alternative. Stir everything evenly to blend before heating.
  3. Cook on Medium Heat: Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, then reduce heat to a simmer. Stir frequently to prevent sticking and cook until the oats absorb the liquid and become creamy, about 7 to 10 minutes.
  4. Sweeten and Flavor: Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in maple syrup or honey, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Taste and adjust sweetness as desired.
  5. Serve and Garnish: Pour the creamy oats into your favorite bowl. Add toppings of your choice such as fresh fruits, toasted nuts, seeds, or coconut flakes for extra flavor, texture, and nutritional boost.

Notes

  • Use full-fat coconut cream for maximum creaminess and richer flavor.
  • Stir often while cooking to prevent oats from sticking and to achieve a smoother texture.
  • Adjust the amount of milk based on your preferred oat consistency.
  • For a quick breakfast, prep the mixture the night before and refrigerate for an overnight oats option.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot to ensure even heat distribution and prevent burning.
  • Reheat leftovers gently with a splash of milk to restore creaminess.
