Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.25 cup pecans
- 1 medium apple
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup water
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon coconut butter
Directions
Step 1
Start by toasting the pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 3-5 minutes until they become aromatic. Stir frequently to prevent burning. Set aside to cool, then roughly chop them.
Step 2
Peel, core, and dice the apple into small cubes.
Step 3
In a medium saucepan, combine the unsweetened shredded coconut, diced apple, ground cinnamon, almond milk, water, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
Step 4
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apple becomes tender and the mixture thickens.
Step 5
Once the mixture has thickened, remove it from heat and stir in the coconut butter until it melts and is thoroughly combined.
Step 6
Divide the oatmeal between two bowls and top with the chopped toasted pecans.
Step 7
Serve warm. You can garnish with additional apple slices or a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired.
