    Winter Coconut Cranberry Oatmeal

    0 shares

    Ever since I made Coconut Butter last week, I’ve really been enjoying my oatmeal with this new addition.coconut butter 328


    Many of you asked me of ways to incorporate Coconut Butter into recipes, and besides oatmeal, I’m thinking smoothies, over toast, sandwiches, baked goods, fruits, and even some vegetables.  What else is left?coconut butter 308

    Now coming up with actual recipes that incorporate coconut butter is the challenge, however I’ll have to start by trying out my new creations at home and make sure they are indeed good enough to post.    coconut butter 316

    This Winter Coconut Cranberry Oatmeal is now one of my new favorite oatmeal recipes which is so warm and comforting.  coconut butter 334

    If you decide to give this one a try, let me know what you think.  Enjoy!coconut butter 357


    NUTRITION: Oats help reduce cholesterol and are a good source of protein and fiber.  Coconut is low in cholesterol and sodium, and it is a good source of fiber.  Although coconut contains high amounts of saturated fats, not all saturated fats pose as a health problem, especially those linked with coconut.  Enjoy this coconut butter in moderation.  Cranberries are an excellent source of Vitamin C, a very good source of Fiber, and a good source of Vitamins E and K.  Pecans contain natural antioxidants and are heart-healthy nuts known to lower cholesterol.




    INGREDIENTS:

    • Old-Fashioned Oats – ⅓ cup
    • So Delicious’ Original Organic Coconut Milk – ¾ cup
    • Vanilla Extract – ½ tsp
    • Cranberries – 2 tbsp
    • Shredded Coconut – 1 tbsp
    • Pecans – just a few top
    • Coconut Butter – just a little on top

    DIRECTIONS:
    1. Start by heating oats and coconut milk on low-medium heat.almond joy oatmeal 092

      I'm still yet to try coconut butter but I'd be pretty happy with eating it off a spoon ;)! I'm sure it would taste pretty awesome on a banana topped with some chocolate chips too. Speaking of bananas, I just bookmarked a delicious recipe for coconut banana pancakes which I think you'll love:...especially as it calls for coconut butter: http://www.kissmybroccoliblog.com/2013/01/20/coconut-banana-pancakes/

      This sure looks delicious. I love oatmeal in the morning with a bunch of other stuff so this one could be a chance of my regular mixed berry version. I love the coconut in it!
