Chai Coconut Zucchini Oatmeal

Prep Time: 2 minutes

Cook Time: 5 minutes

Yield: serves 1

What you'll need:

  • 1/2 cup coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup water (or more coconut milk)
  • 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats (I use Country Choice Organic)
  • 1/2 a medium zucchini (peeling is optional)
  • 1-2 tsp maple syrup
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp cardamom
  • 1/8 tsp ginger
  • pinch of cloves
  • pinch of salt
  • shredded coconut for topping (I toasted mine)

How to make it:

  1. Bring milk and water to a boil, add oats, and reduce heat to medium. (If you’d like to add a teaspoon of flax or chia seeds, do so now.)
  2. Grate zucchini into the oatmeal. Stir occasionally.
  3. Once more of the liquid has absorbed, add maple syrup, vanilla extract, spices, and salt. Stir. Add sweetener if you think it's necessary.
  4. When you’re pleased with the consistency of the oatmeal, transfer to a bowl. Add a splash of your milk of choice, shredded coconut, and any other additional toppings (nuts, fruit, etc.).
