💕 Why You'll Love This Recipe

This Chia and Coconut Milk Oatmeal was a breakfast staple when I was following the candida diet, so I’m sure you will love it too as it is…

Creamy

Warming

Comforting

Indulgent

and Flavoursome

As with all oatmeal, the fun is always in the toppings. A generous dollop of almond or hazelnut butter is an absolute must and can make or break the recipe. Other topping ideas from the candida diet approved foods list include crushed nuts (be it raw or roasted), coconut flakes and chia seeds.

This recipe makes a generous portion for one person. Alternatively, it can be shared between two, enjoyed cold, or reheated the next day.

📋 Ingredients

• Organic oats
• Creamed coconut OR coconut milk
• Chia seeds
• Ground sweet cinnamon
• Water
• Almond butter
• Chopped whole almonds (optional)

🥣 Instructions

It’s as simple as combining all of the ingredients in your saucepan and stirring until the flavours have all melded together and the oats have cooked.

1. Add the ingredients to a saucepan and heat on high while stirring continuously until the porridge starts to blip and thicken.

2. Once this happens, bring your heat down to a very low simmer. Your porridge will continue to cook, but this way you only need to stir it occasionally.

2. Serve hot with your favourite toppings.

✨ Top Tips

• To avoid any lumps of creamed coconut, chop it into small pieces before adding to the pan so that it melts more quickly.
• There's no need to worry - if the oatmeal is too thick, simply add more water. If it's too watery, allow it to cook off a little while longer, or melt in some more creamed coconut.

💫 Substitutions

I love to use creamed coconut in this recipe, but you could also substitute for 200ml of coconut milk and reduce the water slightly.

Don't have chia seeds? Try substituting with the same amount of ground flaxseed.

Notes

If you prefer a sweeter flavour, add a tablespoon of granulated xylitol while cooking to sweeten.
