Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

2 cups coconut milk (full-fat or light, depending on preference)

1 cup water

2 tablespoons maple syrup (or agave syrup)

1 small ripe banana, mashed

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Pinch of salt

Fresh fruit (e.g., mango, berries, or banana slices) for topping

Chopped nuts or seeds (e.g., almonds, walnuts, or chia seeds) for garnish

Shredded coconut (unsweetened) for an extra coconut kick

Instructions
 

In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, coconut milk, water, mashed banana, maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.

    Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking, until it begins to boil.

      Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 5 to 7 minutes, or until the oats are soft and the mixture is creamy. Stir occasionally to achieve your desired consistency.

        Taste the oatmeal and adjust the sweetness if necessary by adding more maple syrup or banana.

          Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it sit for a minute to thicken further if needed.

            Serve the creamy coconut oatmeal warm in bowls and top with your choice of fresh fruit, a sprinkle of chopped nuts or seeds, and a generous handful of shredded coconut.

              Drizzle a little extra maple syrup on top if desired, and enjoy your delicious and nutritious breakfast!
