Ingredients
Flaked coconut
Cacao nibs
Nuts
Fresh fruit
Pure maple syrup
1 scoop chocolate protein powder (I prefer Vega’s performance protein)
1/2 cup steel-cut oats
Heavy pinch fine sea salt
3/4 cup full fat coconut milk
2 cups filtered water
Step by step
Add the water and coconut milk to the 1.5-quart saucepan from the KitchenAid® Hard Anodized Nonstick 10-Piece Set. Set the pan over medium heat and heat until boiling.
Once boiling, add the sea salt and steel-cut oats and cook for 15-16 minutes.
Turn off the heat and stir in the protein powder. The oats will thicken considerably, but if you desire a thicker consistency, put them back on the stovetop for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Serve the oats immediately. I like to top mine with a drizzle of pure maple syrup, fresh fruit, and crunchy topping (nuts, cacao nibs, flaked coconut, etc.).
