Equipment

  • Saucepan

Ingredients

½ cup rolled oats

¾ cup coconut milk

¼ cup water

½ cup diced pineapple, plus extra for topping

Zest of ½ lime

1 tablespoon shredded coconut

Instructions

1. Combine the oats, coconut milk, and water in a saucepan and simmer over medium-low heat for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally.

    2. Stir in half the pineapple during the last minute of cooking.

      3. Remove from heat and stir in the lime zest.

        4. Top with the remaining pineapple and shredded coconut before serving.

          Notes

          Add the lime zest at the very end, off the heat. Cooking it directly in the pot mutes the citrus flavor.
