Ingredients
- 1 cup coconut milk from a can (shake well before using)
- 1/2 cup of water
- 1/3 cup oats
- 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree (or more depending on how much pumpkin flavor you want)
- 1 banana, sliced
- 1 tablespoon honey or 2 tablespoons maple syrup for vegan version
- 1/8 teaspoon of cinnamon
- dash of nutmeg
- pinch of salt
optional toppings:
- blueberry jam
- chocolate drizzle
- coconut shreds
- chopped nuts
- maple syrup drizzle
Instructions
- In a deep sauce pan add the milk and water and bring to a boil. Lower heat and then add oats, pumpkin puree, cinnamon, nutmeg, honey or maple syrup, and salt. Stir to combine. Cook for 5 to 10 minutes until desired consistency. I like my oats more on the ‘watery’ side so I do not overcook them. If you like your oats thicker, then just continue to cook until most of the liquid has been used up.
- Top with sliced bananas. Enjoy!
Notes
- If you are using a light variety of coconut milk you probably don’t need the extra water – just use a little bit more milk. Since I usually have full fat coconut milk on hand I like to add the extra water to dilute the milk a bit.
