A cozy and indulgent oatmeal bowl featuring creamy coconut milk oats topped with fresh pomegranate seeds and toasted coconut, perfect for Valentine’s Day or any special occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (90g)
  • 1 ½ cups unsweetened coconut milk (360ml)
  • ½ cup water (120ml)
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • ½ cup pomegranate seeds (90g)
  • ¼ cup toasted shredded coconut (20g)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped toasted almonds or walnuts (optional)
  • ¼ cup Greek yogurt or dairy-free alternative (optional, 60ml)

Instructions

  1. Toast the coconut and nuts: Heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Add shredded coconut and toast for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently until golden and fragrant. Add nuts for the last 1-2 minutes if using. Remove from heat and set aside.
  2. Combine oats and liquids: In a medium saucepan, add rolled oats, coconut milk, water, and a pinch of salt. Stir gently to mix.
  3. Cook the oats: Place the pan over medium heat and bring to a gentle simmer. Reduce heat to low and cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 12-15 minutes or until oats are tender and creamy. Add more coconut milk or water if needed.
  4. Add sweetener and vanilla: Turn off heat and stir in maple syrup and vanilla extract. Let sit for a minute or two.
  5. Assemble the bowls: Spoon warm oatmeal into serving bowls. Top with pomegranate seeds and toasted coconut-nut mixture. Add a dollop of Greek yogurt or dairy-free alternative if desired.
  6. Serve immediately: Enjoy warm for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

Use old-fashioned rolled oats for best creamy texture. Toast coconut and nuts just before serving for maximum flavor. If oats are too thick, stir in more coconut milk. Can be made ahead and reheated with a splash of coconut milk. Substitute almond milk or oat milk for coconut milk if preferred. For vegan, use plant-based yogurt or skip yogurt topping.
