A quick and easy healthy breakfast bowl combining creamy coconut milk, fresh strawberries, and hearty rolled oats for a comforting and refreshing start to your day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (90g)
  • 1 cup full-fat coconut milk (240ml)
  • 1 cup water (240ml)
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries, sliced (150g)
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons shredded unsweetened coconut
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Toasted coconut flakes for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare your strawberries: If using fresh strawberries, wash, hull, and slice about 1 cup (150g). If frozen, no need to thaw—just toss them in frozen.
  2. Combine liquids and oats: In a medium saucepan, pour 1 cup (240ml) of full-fat coconut milk and 1 cup (240ml) of water. Add 1 cup (90g) of rolled oats and a pinch of salt. Stir gently to combine.
  3. Cook the oats: Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, then reduce to low. Simmer uncovered for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add more water or coconut milk if mixture becomes too thick before oats are done.
  4. Add sweetness and flavor: Once oats are nearly cooked, stir in 2 tablespoons of maple syrup and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  5. Incorporate strawberries and coconut: Gently fold in the sliced strawberries and 2 tablespoons of shredded unsweetened coconut. If using chia seeds, sprinkle in 1 tablespoon now.
  6. Simmer briefly: Let everything cook together for another 2-3 minutes on low heat.
  7. Check texture and taste: Stir the oatmeal; it should be creamy but not soupy, with tender oats and softened strawberries. Adjust sweetness if needed.
  8. Serve and garnish: Spoon the oatmeal into bowls and top with toasted coconut flakes. Optionally add extra fresh strawberries or a drizzle of coconut milk.

Notes

Use rolled oats for best texture; avoid high heat to prevent coconut milk separation; add strawberries near the end to keep pieces intact; toasted coconut flakes add a crunchy contrast; can substitute almond or oat milk for lighter version but creaminess will be reduced.
