Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: Breakfast
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups coconut milk
- 1 ripe mango, diced
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Shredded coconut for topping
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine rolled oats, coconut milk, salt, and honey/maple syrup. Stir ingredients together until well mixed.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
- Cook the oatmeal for approximately 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently. The oats should gradually absorb the coconut milk and become creamy and tender.
- While the oatmeal is cooking, dice the ripe mango into small, uniform cubes, ensuring they are fresh and sweet.
- Once the oatmeal reaches a thick, creamy consistency, remove from heat and let it rest for 1-2 minutes to slightly cool and continue thickening.
- Divide the creamy oatmeal between two serving bowls, creating an even distribution.
- Top each bowl with freshly diced mango pieces and sprinkle shredded coconut over the surface for added texture and flavor.
- Serve immediately while the oatmeal is warm, optionally drizzling additional honey or maple syrup if desired for extra sweetness.
Tips
- Choose a ripe, fragrant mango for the most intense tropical flavor. The mango should yield slightly when gently pressed.
- Use full-fat coconut milk for the creamiest, most luxurious texture. Light coconut milk can make the oatmeal less rich.
- Stir your oatmeal frequently while cooking to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking and creamy consistency.
- Let the oatmeal rest for 1-2 minutes after cooking to allow it to thicken naturally.
- For extra indulgence, toast the shredded coconut before sprinkling on top to enhance its nutty flavor.
- If you prefer a sweeter breakfast, adjust the honey or maple syrup to your taste preference.
