  • 1/2 cup rolled oats Creates the core structure and stays soft.
  • 1/3 cup coconut milk Adds aroma and creamy weight.
  • 1 cup regular milk or water Prevents the bowl from being too dense.

Cooking
  1. Cook oats with the coconut milk, regular milk or water, and salt in the microwave for about 2 minutes.
  2. Stir in the brown sugar and let it stand until it thickens.
  3. Mix in the coconut and flaxseed meal.
  4. Top with extra coconut and peanut butter for serving.
