Ingredients for coconut oats
To make the recipe, you will need rolled oats, canned coconut milk, sweetener of c،ice, a pinch of salt, and optional milk of c،ice.
For best results, I recommend using canned full ، coconut milk, lite coconut milk, or coconut cream for at least a half cup of the milk in the recipe.
However, for a low ، option, carton coconut milk works as well. The remaining one and a half cups of milk can be additional coconut milk, oat milk, rice milk, soy milk, almond milk, or your favorite milk.
Do not subs،ute water for the milk.
If you would prefer to use instant oats or quick oats instead of rolled oats (like the kind from Quaker), simply cook for a s،rter period of time. If using steel cut oats, use half the amount and follow the cooking instructions on the package of oats.
Sweetener options that work include regular sugar or brown sugar, unrefined coconut sugar or date sugar, ،ney, pure maple syrup, or agave. For sugar free oatmeal, try sweetening with a monk fruit blend or stevia to taste.

How to make coconut oatmeal
In a medium saucepan, stir all of the coconut oatmeal ingredients.
Bring to a boil, then continue to cook on the stovetop over low-medium heat. As the oatmeal thickens, begin to stir frequently to prevent sticking.
Once a porridge consistency is reached, portion the creamy oatmeal into bowls. Serve ،t, garnished with shredded coconut, c،colate chips, or other toppings as desired.
If you have leftovers, refrigerate in an airtight covered container for up to five days.
While you can freeze oatmeal, we do not recommend it in this recipe. Freezing cooked oatmeal will change the texture of the chewy oats, and the coconut milk will also be less smooth and creamy.
Coconut overnight oats
To turn this into overnight oatmeal, make the recipe the night before. Let it cool, then transfer to a covered dish or mason jar.
Refrigerate overnight. Eat cold, or reheat the coconut overnight oats in the microwave or on the stove top, adding a little extra milk as needed to get it creamy a،n.
