Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup Rolled Oats
  • 1 cup Coconut Milk (Canned or Cartoned)
  • 1 tablespoon Shredded Coconut (Unsweetened)
  • 1/2 cup Diced Mango (Fresh or Frozen)
  • 1/4 cup Diced Pineapple (Fresh or Canned)
  • 1-2 tablespoons Maple Syrup or Agave Nectar

Cooking the Base

In a saucepan, combine the rolled oats and coconut milk. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.

Incorporating Flavors

Reduce heat to low and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the oatmeal is creamy. Stir in the shredded coconut during the last minute. If using frozen mango, add it during cooking to warm it through. If using canned pineapple, drain it well before adding.

Sweetening and Adding Fruit

Remove from heat and stir in maple syrup or agave nectar to taste. Add diced mango and pineapple.

Topping and Serving

Transfer to a bowl and top with toasted coconut flakes (optional). Serve immediately and enjoy the tropical flavors.
