Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup quick-cooking oats (rolled can be used for chewier texture)
  • 1 cup coconut milk (fresh is better, canned works)
  • 1/2 cup water (to loosen the mixture)
  • 1 piece ripe banana (sliced)
  • 1-2 tablespoons honey (or muscovado sugar for deeper flavor)
  • pinch of salt
  • toasted coconut flakes (for topping)
  • optional add-ins (chia seeds, cinnamon, or vanilla extract)

Instructions

Cooking Instructions

  • In a small pot, pour in the coconut milk and water. Bring to a good simmer over medium heat.
  • Add your oats and a pinch of salt. Stir constantly to prevent clumping.
  • After about 2-3 minutes, when the mixture thickens, add the sliced banana.
  • Remove from heat and stir in honey, adjusting to taste.
  • Scoop into bowls and top with toasted coconut flakes and extra honey if desired.

Notes

Keep the heat gentle to avoid splitting the coconut milk. Adjust the consistency with water if it's too thick. Experiment with different toppings for variety.
