Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup Milk (or dairy-free alternative)
- 1 cup Water
- 0.5 cup Pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, drained if using canned)
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch Salt
- 2 tablespoons Shredded coconut (optional, for topping)
- 2 tablespoons Chopped nuts (optional, for topping)
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup or honey (optional, for sweetness)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, milk, and water. Stir to combine.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once the oatmeal begins to thicken (around 5 minutes), stir in the pineapple chunks, brown sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
Continue cooking for another 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the oatmeal reaches your desired consistency and the pineapple is warmed through.
Remove the saucepan from the heat. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed by adding maple syrup or honey.
Divide the oatmeal into serving bowls. Top with shredded coconut, chopped nuts, or additional pineapple chunks as desired.
Serve warm and enjoy your tropical pineapple oatmeal!
