Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup coconut cream (preferably full-fat)
- 1 to 1 1/2 cups unsweetened almond milk (or any plant milk)
- 1 to 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients: Gather all ingredients measured and ready — rolled oats, coconut cream, plant milk, sweetener, vanilla extract, and salt to ensure smooth cooking.
- Cook the oats: In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Add coconut cream and sweetener: Once the oats start to soften, reduce heat to low and stir in the coconut cream and your choice of maple syrup or honey. Keep stirring to blend the flavors and create a rich, creamy consistency.
- Finish with vanilla extract: Remove the pan from heat and stir in vanilla extract for a fragrant, smooth finish that elevates the overall taste.
- Serve and garnish: Transfer your Tasty Coconut Cream Oats to bowls and add your favorite toppings like fresh fruits, toasted nuts, seeds, or coconut flakes to add texture and bursts of flavor.
Notes
- Use full-fat coconut cream for the creamiest texture and richest flavor.
- Soak oats overnight in almond milk for an even creamier texture and reduced cooking time.
- Stir frequently during cooking to prevent sticking and ensure smoothness.
- Adjust liquid amount for your preferred oat consistency—more plant milk for thinner oats, less for thicker, pudding-like oats.
- Toast nuts before adding as toppings to boost flavor.
