Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (90g) old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup (240ml) water
  • 1 cup (240ml) unsweetened coconut milk (canned or carton)
  • 1 cup (120g) fresh raspberries (frozen raspberries can be used)
  • 1/4 cup (20g) shredded coconut, toasted
  • 12 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Toast the shredded coconut in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring constantly for 3-5 minutes until golden and fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup water, 1 cup coconut milk, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
  3. Stir in 1 cup rolled oats, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes until oats are tender but still slightly chewy. Add more coconut milk or water if too thick.
  4. Stir in 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup and 1 tablespoon chia seeds. Cook for 2 more minutes to thicken.
  5. Remove from heat and gently fold in half of the fresh raspberries to warm them without mashing.
  6. Spoon oatmeal into bowls and top with remaining raspberries and toasted coconut. Optionally drizzle extra maple syrup or add coconut flakes.

Notes

Toast coconut carefully to avoid burning. Stir oats occasionally on low heat for creamy texture. Fold raspberries in last to keep them fresh and intact. Use certified gluten-free oats if needed. Can substitute coconut milk with almond or oat milk. Maple syrup added near the end preserves flavor.
