Pineapple & Coconut Oatmeal with Pecans & Maple Syrup

Step 1

1 Make the oatmeal In a small pot, combine the oats, maple syrup, raisins, and coconut milk. Heat to boiling on high. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer 9 to 11 minutes, or until thickened and cooked to your desired consistency.

Step 2

2 Toast the coconut & pecans Meanwhile, in a small pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat the pecans and coconut flakes on medium-high until hot. Cook, stirring frequently, 2 to 3 minutes, or until toasted. Transfer to a bowl. Wipe out the pan.

Step 3

3 Make the pineapple compote & serve your dish Small dice the pineapple. In the same pan, heat the butter on medium until melted. Add the diced pineapple and warming spices. Cook, stirring frequently, 2 to 3 minutes, or until slightly softened. Add the sugar and 2 tablespoons of water (carefully, as the liquid may splatter). Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 minutes, or until thickened. Turn off the heat. Serve the oatmeal topped with the pineapple compote and toasted coconut and pecans. Enjoy!
