Recipe type: Breakfast
Serves: 1
Ingredients
  • ⅓ cup steel cut oats (soaked in water overnight)
  • ⅔ cups water
  • 1 tsp Earth Balance
  • 1-2 tbsp organic brown sugar
  • 1 can of full fat coconut milk (I use the Trader Joe brand. It says 'coconut cream' on it)
  • Splash of vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp of maple syrup
Instructions
  1. Steel Cut Oats Breakfast Cereal: Drain and rinse the soaked oats. Bring water to a boil. Add oats and lower heat to med-low. Let the oats simmer uncovered until all water is absorbed, anywhere from 15-25 minutes. Serve in bowl. I recommend stirring in a plant based butter (such as Earth Balance) and organic brown sugar.
  2. Coconut Whipped Cream: Let your can of coconut milk sit in the fridge overnight or longer so it solidifies a bit. When you are ready to make your whipped cream, take the can out of the fridge. Empty the contents into a bowl. Usually the bottom part of the can is where the excess water/milk goes. Leave that out, you just want the solidified parts. You can use the watery milk in smoothies if you like. Add your vanilla and maple syrup to the bowl and use an electric beater to whip the coconut milk until it takes on the consistency of whipped cream. I use the highest setting and it takes me about 5 minutes on and off until it’s done.
