Pecan Pie Coconut Oatmeal (healthy, vegan, dairy free, refined sugar free)

Jump to Recipe

When the holidays roll around, I love experimenting with oatmeal that taste like dessert, sans the fat. DSC_0093

This Pecan Pie Coconut Oatmeal screams winter! DSC_0043

Pecans and coconut! Coconut just reminds me of snow and makes the oatmeal look prettier.DSC_0060

I am excited to share this recipe with you because this oatmeal turned out better than I expected, and the secret to this delectable breakfast are the candied pecans.DSC_0120

The high heat of the pecans slowly melts into the hot oatmeal and gives it that beautiful caramel color. DSC_0126

Since I prefer my oatmeal creamy, I top it with some more Almond Milk. You can never have enough Almond Milk if you ask me. DSC_0083

This creamy bowl of Pecan Pie Coconut Oatmeal is not only healthy and delicious, but decadent too. I could eat this one all year. Try it, hope I win you over!DSC_0154

Pecan Pie Coconut Oatmeal (healthy, vegan, dairy free, refined sugar free)

An oatmeal that tastes like dessert, try it to believe it. Oats are low in fat and a good source of Fiber and Protein. Almond Milk is Vegan, contains No Cholesterol, and is loaded with Vitamins, Nutrients, and Antioxidants with high levels of Vitamin E. Pecans contain natural Antioxidants and are Heart-Healthy nuts known to Lower Cholesterol. Cinnamon helps Lower Blood Sugar Levels and is an excellent source of Fiber. Coconut Oil contains Lauric Acid which helps in increasing good HDL cholesterol. Coconut Oil is also beneficial in weight loss by controlling the blood sugar levels. The saturated fats in coconut oil are not as harmful as the saturated fats seen in vegetable oil. With that said, coconut is a saturated fat and should be eaten in moderation.

Ingredients

  • <b>for the oatmeal</b>
  • Organic Old-Fashioned Oats - 1/2 cup
  • Organic Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk - 1 cup
  • Water - 1 cup
  • Ground Cinnamon - 1/4 tsp
  • Pure Vanilla - 1/2 tsp
  • <br>
  • <b>for the candied pecans</b>
  • Organic Coconut Oil - 1 tbsp
  • Pecans - 1/2 cup
  • Pure Maple Syrup - 1 tbsp
  • Ground Cinnamon - 1/4 tsp
  • Pure Vanilla - 1/4 tsp

Instructions

  • For the <b>Oatmeal</b>, heat up a pot on low-medium heat, add oats, almond milk and water.
  • Add ground cinnamon and vanilla.
  • Stir. Keep stirring frequently.
  • Ten minutes later you will have this.
  • And another ten minutes later you will have this, you want a thick and creamy consistency.
  • For the <b>Candied Pecans</b>, heat up a cast-iron skillet on medium heat. Once hot, add coconut oil.
  • Add pecans. Stir the pecans so they are coated with oil. Once a little toasty, just a couple minutes, go to the next step.
  • Add the maple syrup... there will be sizzling. Keep stirring.
  • Top with cinnamon and vanilla. Stir. They will start to caramelize.
  • Keep stirring the pecans around until they are sticky. Remove from heat. The entire process will take less than 5 minutes. Stay close, otherwise the pecans will burn.
  • Pour the oatmeal into a bowl and top with 1/3 - 1/2 the pecan amount. Drizzle some almond milk on top. Enjoy!

Notes

* You can use butter instead of coconut oil, the flavor will be richer, but I loved coconut oil.
** The candied pecans portion is enough for 2-3 people, definitely not for 1 serving.

PANEER TIKKA QUESADILLAS are mouthwatering! Here's PANEER TIKKA QUESADILLAS are mouthwatering! Here's an Indo-Fusion dish you will love! I made a delicious marinade for the paneer and sauteed it along with the veggies. Assemble your whole wheat quesadillas and cook until the cheese has melted. The best part about this dish is my "special taco sauce" which complements these quesadillas perfectly. ⁠

Happy Mother’s Day to all you moms who show up s Happy Mother’s Day to all you moms who show up selflessly every single day. Also, a happy mothers day to all of you who want to be moms. ❤️  This is the most challenging role of my life, but the journey is totally worth it. Krish has made me a stronger and happier person. He gives new meaning to my life.  And lastly, my kid couldn’t give me one nice picture of us in Hawaii… there’s either someone in the back or he’s making a face or he just wants to get away. He just can’t sit still for a minute… and with that a Happy Mother’s Day to me! 🥰

Vacationing with a kid has been a completely diffe Vacationing with a kid has been a completely different experience. While it’s nice to spend time as a family, dinners can get tough with a baby. Sanjiv and I enjoyed a romantic evening at House Without A Key in peace because Krish “thankfully” fell asleep (he was behind us I promise… swipe). It was so nice to converse with my better half over live music + cocktails, delicious food, and the BEST coconut cake (last pic). A memorable meal and evening! ❤️ #mylove

Aloha 🤙! Our first family trip! We made it to H Aloha 🤙! Our first family trip! We made it to Hawaii safe and sound, and Krish was pretty good on the plane. It’s my first time in Hawaii and I’m loving Waikiki… the beach, food, window shopping, and city life. I love being able to walk everywhere. It’s the perfect amount of action and relaxation for me. This is totally my kinda vacation 😎!  Krish has been loving all the people-watching… something he doesn’t do much of back home. He’s been flexible and has pretty much adjusted to our schedule. Thank you 🙏🏼 guys for all the food recommendations (Duke’s Hula Pie) and tips on traveling with a toddler. I can’t thank you all enough. ❤️ #myworld
