Coconut Slow Cooker Oatmeal
July 6th, 2012
In my quest to try different oatmeal recipes for the slow cooker, I was inspired to make a tropical themed flavor.
Using this base recipe, I modified it by substituting coconut milk for the soy and coconut extract instead of vanilla.
Instead of berry toppings, I added shredded coconut, macadamia nuts and sliced banana.
Oatmeal always screams fall to me – like Quaker’s Instant oatmeal flavors apple cinnamon and maple brown sugar. But this flavor combination gives a summery feel to that autumn dish!
- 1 cup steel cut oats
- 2 cups coconut milk
- 1-1/2 cups water
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon coconut extract
- Toppings (per serving):
- ½ banana, sliced
- 1 tbsp macadamia nuts
- 1 tbsp sweetened shredded coconut
- Instructions
- Mix together all ingredients (except fresh fruit) in a slow cooker.
- Cook on low for approximately 6-8 hours, stirring occasionally.
- Mix together all ingredients (except the Toppings) in a slow cooker.
- Cook on low for approximately 6-8 hours, stirring occasionally.
- Top each bowl with the Toppings.
