cooked stealcut oatmeal with pineapple and shredded coconuts in a bowl

Did you know January is oatmeal month?  I just found out. Which is perfect because we have had oats for breakfast almost every morning. I've been loving this recipe for busy mornings. I make it ahead of time and reheat it for breakfast.

Since it is the weekend, I like to make things more interesting, a little different for breakfast. Steel cut oats take just a little bit longer than regular oats to cook but I love the hearty texture.

I added some fresh pineapple and flaked coconut this time. Sweet tropical flavours to brighten up a cold dark winter morning. I used cashew milk in this recipe. It's the first time I have tried cashew milk and honestly, I'm not sure how I feel about it. I like almond better I think. At least straight up. But when cooked into something, I don't really notice any differences.  In this recipe, use whatever kind of milk you have on hand.

I use fresh pineapple, canned pineapple tidbits or even crushed would do. Just drain it well before adding it into the oats. I find this sweet enough as is, but you may want to serve a little maple syrup on the side

How to make Tropical Steel Cut Oats

  • Use a large enough saucepan so avoid boil-overs. Oats are notorious for boiling over, consider yourself warned.
  • Add water, cashew milk, a cinnamon stick, ginger and salt to a boil. Basically you are adding the flavour to the liquid. Once boiling, remove the ginger piece and cinnamon stick then add the nutmeg and stir in oats.
  • Reduce to a simmer and cover. Cook covered until mixture is thick and creamy and oats are soft, about 35 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat, stir in remaining ingredients - vanilla, brown sugar, shredded coconut, and pineapple.
  • Serve sprinkled with sweetened flaked coconut and maple syrup.

Hi. I'm Trish.

I'm a curious home cook, just as enthusiastic about healthy ingredients and whole foods as I am about cookies.
