Creamy Coconut Oatmeal
Description
Creamy Coconut Oatmeal starts with simmering coconut milk, which provides a rich and silky base without dairy. Rolled oats are cooked in the coconut milk along with sweeteners like maple syrup or beet sugar and shredded unsweetened coconut. Ground cinnamon and a pinch of kosher salt enhance the flavor complexity. The oatmeal cooks until the liquid is absorbed and the oats reach a tender, creamy consistency typical of slow-stirred oatmeal.
The result is a lightly sweetened, coconut-flavored oatmeal with a comforting texture that feels indulgent without heavy cream. It is served immediately and topped with fresh berries and toasted coconut to add layers of texture and fresh bright notes, balancing the creamy richness.
Using coconut milk variants such as full fat or light will modify the richness, and sugar choices can be varied. Nutritional information excludes toppings, allowing flexibility in adapting this recipe to dietary preferences.
Ingredients
- 2 cups coconut milk can also use full fat coconut milk, light, unsweetened
- 1 cup gluten-free rolled oats
- 1/4 cup maple syrup or granulated beet sugar
- 1/4 cup coconut unsweetened, shredded
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- pinch kosher salt
- fresh berries agave, coconut milk and toasted coconut, for garnish
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, bring the coconut milk to a simmer over medium heat. Add the oats, maple syrup or sugar, coconut, cinnamon, and salt and stir. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until the milk has been absorbed and the oatmeal is creamy, about 15 minutes.
- Serve immediately, topped with fresh berries, agave, extra milk, and toasted coconut.
Notes
- Use full fat coconut milk for a richer, creamier texture; light or unsweetened alternatives will reduce fat and richness.
- Maple syrup, beet sugar, or granulated sugar can be used interchangeably as sweeteners.
- Fresh berries and toasted coconut on top add freshness and crunch but are optional.
