Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw almonds
- 1 cup raw pecans
- 0.5 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup fresh berries
Instructions
In a food processor, combine the raw almonds and pecans. Pulse until they reach a coarse, rice-like consistency, being careful not to over-process into a paste.
Transfer the processed nuts to a medium saucepan. Add the shredded coconut and chia seeds, mixing thoroughly.
Stir in the ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger to incorporate the spices evenly among the dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, water, honey, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
Pour the wet mixture into the saucepan with the dry ingredients, stirring to fully combine.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Stir frequently to prevent sticking, and cook for approximately 5-10 minutes, or until the mixture thickens to your desired consistency.
Once cooked, remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit for a couple of minutes to thicken further.
Serve the 'oats' warm, topped with fresh berries or any additional toppings of your choice like extra nuts or a drizzle of honey.
