Main Ingredients
- 2 ripe mangos, peeled and sliced
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup water
- ⅓ cup full-fat coconut milk
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of sea salt
Coconut Sauce and Toppings
- ¼ cup full-fat coconut milk
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- 1 tbsp water (for cornstarch slurry)
- 1 tsp coconut sugar (substitute with plain sugar if needed)
- Black sesame seeds, for topping
- Chili powder, for topping
- Sea salt, for topping
- Creamy coconut sauce (prepared as below)
- Cook the oats: Heat a small saucepan over medium heat. Add rolled oats, water, chia seeds, and vanilla extract. Stir occasionally and cook for 3-4 minutes or until the oats reach your desired creamy consistency.
- Add coconut milk: Stir in ⅓ cup of full-fat coconut milk. If the oatmeal looks too thick or starts drying out, add a little extra water. Reduce heat to low and continue cooking to maintain your preferred consistency.
- Prepare the coconut sauce: In a separate small saucepan, heat ¼ cup of full-fat coconut milk over medium heat. Stir in the cornstarch slurry (1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 1 tbsp water) and the coconut sugar. Continue stirring until the sauce thickens, which should take just a few minutes. Remove from heat once thickened.
- Assemble the dish: Spoon the creamy oatmeal into a serving bowl. Top with sliced mango. Sprinkle black sesame seeds, chili powder, and a pinch of sea salt over the top. Finally, add a generous spoonful of the prepared creamy coconut sauce. Serve immediately and enjoy the tropical flavors.
Notes
- Use ripe, sweet mangos for the best flavor.
- You can substitute chia seeds with flaxseeds if preferred.
- Adjust the amount of chili powder for the desired spice level or omit if you prefer a milder taste.
- Full-fat coconut milk provides a richer, creamier texture; light coconut milk can be used but results will be less creamy.
- If unavailable, cornstarch can be substituted with arrowroot powder or tapioca starch for thickening the sauce.
- This recipe is naturally gluten-free if using certified gluten-free oats.
