A cozy and creamy oatmeal bowl perfect for Valentine’s Day, featuring fresh raspberries and toasted coconut for a comforting and delicious breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (90g)
  • 2 cups milk of choice (480ml), whole milk or almond milk recommended
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey as a substitute)
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries (120g)
  • ⅓ cup unsweetened shredded coconut (30g), toasted
  • ¼ cup Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt (60g)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped nuts (optional), such as almonds or pecans

Instructions

  1. Toast the shredded coconut: Place ⅓ cup of shredded coconut in a dry skillet over medium heat. Stir frequently for 2-4 minutes until golden and fragrant. Transfer to a plate to cool.
  2. Cook the oats: In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of old-fashioned rolled oats with 2 cups of milk and a pinch of sea salt. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, then reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes until thick and creamy.
  3. Flavor the oats: Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 2 tablespoons of maple syrup. Fold in ¼ cup of Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt while the oats are still warm.
  4. Assemble the bowl: Spoon the creamy oatmeal into serving bowls. Top generously with 1 cup of fresh raspberries and the toasted coconut. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of chopped nuts if desired.
  5. Final touch: Drizzle a little extra maple syrup on top if you want added sweetness. Serve immediately.

Notes

If oats are too thick, stir in a splash of milk to loosen. Cook oats gently to avoid lumps and burning. Toast coconut carefully over medium heat, stirring constantly. Can be made ahead and reheated with a splash of milk. For vegan/dairy-free, use plant-based milk and coconut yogurt.
