Recently, I came across coconut flakes, and I must admit, I’m now addicted to all things coconut. Those tiny flakes, after all, go nicely with just about everything. I haven’t come across anything that coconut flakes don’t make better, from drinks to pastries to breakfast. As a result, when I was considering breakfast recipes, I knew I had to include coconut, which is how this Toasted Coconut Oatmeal came to be.

The fact that it doesn’t contain sugar comes first, followed by the fact that it is filled with healthy nutrients like oats and coconut milk. none of the sweeteners, not even maple syrup. Why? There is no need to add more sweetness because the coconut milk and coconut flakes already contain a significant amount of natural sweetness.

Additionally, if you have gluten-free oats on hand, you can make it vegan and gluten-free. But most importantly, it is completely flavorful. After eating it, you’ll feel like a goddess because it’s tropical and fresh. Is it just me, or—? But really, this is the ideal fusion of healthy and decadent.

The coconut flakes were purchased at a nearby grocery, and I just toasted them at home. I like to make things simple and quick, especially in the mornings, although many others prefer to bake them in the oven. So I chose to toast them in a pan rather than in the oven. The final product has a crisp texture, a strong coconut taste, and a hint of nuttiness that goes incredibly well with the sweetness of the oats.

I like to make the toasted coconut oatmeal first, rapidly toast the coconut flakes while it cools, and then simply sprinkle them on top of the porridge. It is much better to serve them alongside an orange juice or green smoothie.
