Happy Valentine’s Day and Day 1 of my self-proclaimed love your oatmeal week!
It doesn’t matter if you’re making this for your special one or as a special treat to yourself. You can’t go wrong with coconut, almond, chocolate oatmeal.
Ingredients
- ½ cups Steel Cut Oats
- 2 cups Unsweetened So Delicious Coconut Milk
- 1 Tablespoon Unsweetened Cocoa
- 2 Tablespoons Finely Shredded Unsweetened Coconut (I Used Reduced Fat Organic)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- ¼ teaspoons Almond Extract
- 2 Tablespoons Agave Nectar
- 2 Tablespoons Slivered Almonds
Preparation
The night before:
Spray your crock with some oil to help with clean up later. Add everything except agave and almonds. Cook on low overnight (7 to 9 hours).
In the morning:
Stir your oatmeal well. It may seem watery at the top but if stirred it should develop a more uniform consistency. Stir in sweetener and top each serving with slivered almonds.
You can top this with extra coconut and mini chocolate chips if you really want to go all out. It is V-day after all and this is still better for you than a box of chocolates!
Half of this recipes has 318 calories, which is not bad if it’s your whole breakfast. (This number does not count in extra toppings other than 1 tablespoon slivered almonds.)
