Tropical Summer Coconut Oatmeal
Tropical Summer Coconut Oatmeal is a quick, healthy, and delicious vegan + gluten-free breakfast. It's made with coconut milk and topped with tropical fruit. You will LOVE how light and summery this porridge is!
I know the idea of summertime oatmeal probably sounds a little odd. I mean, normally I think of oatmeal as a warm start to a wintery day. This coconut oatmeal, with all the tropical flavors, is 100% summer approved.
It's like a piƱa colada, in coconut oatmeal form. That might sound strange but believe me when I say, “THIS is the oatmeal you want to eat this summer.”
The oats are slowly simmered in coconut milk and water until they are super rich, creamy, and totally delicious. They're topped with a trio of tropical fruit and sprinkled with a malty little coconut sugar. Big time yum.
Healthy bonus … this coconut oatmeal is totally vegan and totally awesome. š

I love all things coconut so this was right up my alley. I topped it with a little brown sugar and it was excellent.Ā
I had steel cut oatmeal this morning with: almond milk, blueberries, flax seeds, Brazil nuts,, pumpkin seeds. No sugar or sweetener of any kind for me. Sometimes strawberries. Will use my Thai organic coconut milk tomorrow.
It’s so fun to come up with different flavor combos for oatmeal isn’t it? I hope you love my coconut version!
Is this tinned coconut milk? Or the boxed versions?
It’s the canned version. š
Haha, no way! Oatmeal for every season! Just had my porridge this morning! Could not live without!
Oatmeal is the best, isn’t it?! I could seriously eat it every day, too. š
