Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 15-20 minutes
Total Time: 25-30 minutes
Serves: 3-4 (3 if served immediately, 4 if made ahead and served re-heated with additional milk)
Difficulty: 2/10
INGREDIENTS
Oatmeal:
1 cup oats (use gluten free oats for gluten free oatmeal)
1 can (400 ml) coconut milk (if you use full fat the oatmeal will be creamier)
1 cup milk of choice + more to dilute in the morning if oatmeal made ahead (approx. 1/4 cup per serving)
Serving:
2 cups frozen pineapple chunks - blended until smooth
pineapple chunks (optional)
coconut flakes (optional)
desiccated coconut (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS
The Oatmeal:
Add oats to the pot on medium-high heat along with the milk & coconut milk. Stir to combine the ingredients.
Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and allow to cook for about 15-20 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent burning.
Once thick, remove from stove top.
Add a little milk if it's too thick for your liking.
** The oatmeal can be prepared in advance and stored in the fridge.
Re-heating:
If prepared in advance, when you’d like to enjoy the oatmeal, remove it from the fridge and add in extra milk (approx. 1/4 cup per serving) until it reaches the desired consistency (add more milk if you like your oatmeal thinner).
Heat it up in a pot on the stove or in the microwave. Stir frequently to prevent burning (stove) or uneven distribution of heat (microwave).
Serving:
In a high-speed blender blend 2 cups of pineapple chunks until smooth - it should resemble sorbet. Reserve half to use as oatmeal topping and add the remaining half into the oatmeal. Stir to incorporate.
Add the oatmeal to a bowl and top with toppings of choice.
