So I got a marga grain press a while ago and then finally got some oats to roll in it, so now I'm always looking for new oatmeal ideas. I got the idea the other day after having cottage cheese and pineapple and after making those coconut/chocolate bread pudding bowls to try pina colada flavored oatmeal. Well, today was the day I tried it and it was yummy. A new favorite way to eat oatmeal. Here is what I did.
- 1/2 cup rolled oats (freshly rolled if you can)
- 1/2 cup skim milk
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/8 teaspoon coconut extract
- 1/2 Tablespoon splend
- 1/2 can crushed pineapple drained (about 1/4 cup I think)
- 7 grams sliced almonds - the equivalent of 6 almonds -I weighted them, then replaced them with already sliced almonds - maybe 1/2 Tablespoon - 2 teaspoons if measuring.
- 1 teaspoon shredded coconut
Combine oats, milk, water, splend and coconut extract in a bowl. (It has to be pretty big or it will boil over.)
Microwave for 4 minutes on high. (I had to stop and stir mine after 3 because it was boiling over.)
Remove from microwave - stir in almonds and pineapple. Top with shredded coconut.
I ate my first few bites plain, but then added 1/2 cup milk so I'd get my full cup of milk with my breakfast. Both ways are delicious, and good for you too.
