Recipe Information
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
Instructions
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.
Peel, core, and dice the apple into small cubes.
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.
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.
Once the mixture has thickened, remove it from heat and stir in the coconut butter until it melts and is thoroughly combined.
Divide the oatmeal between two bowls and top with the chopped toasted pecans.
Serve warm. You can garnish with additional apple slices or a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired.
