If you love coconut and oatmeal, you are going to love this breakfast!     About a month ago I decided that I was no longer going to buy packaged cereal for myself.   As a result, eggs and oatmeal have been featuring heavily on my personal breakfast menu lately.   This Maple Syrup and Coconut Oatmeal is quickly becoming a favorite of mine.    From the first moment I tasted this, I knew it was going to be a repeated meal. <\/p>\n

\"Coconut<\/a><\/p>\n

 Instead of cooking this oatmeal in water, I switched the liquid to coconut milk.   That helped the oatmeal absorb that lovely coconut flavor.   I also added some shredded coconut to strengthen the flavor.    Right before serving, I sweeten the oatmeal with maple syrup.    I have experimented with other sweeteners but this was my favorite.    If you prefer, you could use brown sugar, stevia or another sweetener of your choosing.   <\/p>\n

\"Coconut<\/a><\/p>\n

Have I ever mentioned that coconut is one of my favorite flavors?    I’m sure you would never have guessed.      This breakfast has reminded me that I need to share my Coconut Cream Pie with you!    <\/p>\n

This recipe serves 2. I usually eat it with coconut flakes on top, but it also tastes great with berries and nuts.
