Coconut Milk Oats porridge recipe / Vegan oats porridge recipe / healthy recipe / weight recipe / quick breakfast recipes with detailed step by step instruction and photos. Coconut milk oatmeal is easy to make and its tastes delicious and moreover its vegan. Oats are whole grain and it takes long time to cook hence mostly rolled oats, steel cut oats or instant oats are used to make porridges this cuts the cooking time. Instant oats are the most processed oats which takes only 2-3 minutes cook.
Oats are incredibly nutritious, these are good source of carbs and fiber. They are also good source of protein and amino acids.
As i mentioned earlier there are many types of oats that you can find at the market, each oatmeal has different texture and it also affects cooking time.
Steel cut oats take long time to cook and has a chewy texture.
I usually prefer old fashioned rolled oats for this. This cooks faster than the steel cut oats while still retaining its shape.
Instant oats are highly processed hence it take only 3-4 minutes to cook.
I make oatmeal porridge with regular milk or with coconut milk quite regularly for our breakfast. I add available fruits to the porridge this not only makes it tasty but also healthy.
This coconut milk oats porridge is easy to make and taste really good with freshly cut fruits and nuts.
