Instructions
 

Prepare the Oatmeal Base:

  • Combine the rolled oats, coconut milk, diced papaya, ground allspice, and a pinch of salt in a medium-sized saucepan.
  • Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Simmer and Stir:

  • Once the mixture begins to boil, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 5-7 minutes or until the oats are cooked to your desired consistency. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.

Sweeten to Taste (Optional):

  • If desired, sweeten the oatmeal with maple syrup or honey, adjusting the amount to suit your preference. Stir well to incorporate.

Serve:

  • Once the oatmeal is cooked and sweetened to your liking, remove it from the heat.
  • Serve the oatmeal hot in bowls.

Add Toppings (Optional):

  • Garnish each bowl of oatmeal with sliced banana, toasted coconut flakes, chopped nuts, and additional diced papaya for extra flavor and texture.

Enjoy!
