Tropical Oatmeal
It is pretty difficult to photograph oatmeal and make it appear enticing enough to eat. Usually it comes down to some interesting toppings as oatmeal generally looks like mush. But it's so good! Oatmeal is such an easy meal to prep and have ready to pull out of the fridge at any point whether it's breakfast or a snack or even brinner (breakfast for dinner, anyone?). Most of us have it on-hand in a cabinet and it does not get as much air time as it should. I have another savory oatmeal recipe I have for when I am sick which is essentially chicken stock and herbs-SUPER easy, but I digress. Today we are looking at oatmeal of the sweeter variety.
I have been dreaming of the beach and tropical beverages and the warm spring weather we have been having really had me interested in making somewhat tropical items that are not a muffin or cupcake or dessert-which is my usual go-to.
This oatmeal is simple enough using coconut milk for most of the base, pineapple, mango, and coconut throughout and topped with crunchy toasted coconut and pepita seeds (my personal favorite). Feel free to add whatever fruit/nut/seed toppings that sound good to you. I think this would be wonderful with some chia seeds swirled throughout and maybe some toasted slivered almonds or pistachios as well!
Enjoy :)
