Coconut, Chai Tea Oatmeal
Servings: 1
Preparation Time: 25 minutes
Ingredients:
- 2 chai tea bags
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk*
- 1/2 teaspoon coconut extract
- 1/2 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1/2 banana, mashed
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon flaked or unsweetened coconut
Directions:
In a coffee or glass measuring cup, heat water and steep the tea bags for at least 5 minutes. The stronger the tea, the more the chai taste will come through.
In a small pot, heat the tea and milk over medium heat. Stir in oats, coconut extract, chia seeds, and banana. Cook for approximately 20 minutes or until desired consistency.
Pour into a bowl and sprinkle cinnamon and coconut on top.
*For the freshest coconut milk, make homemade coconut milk. (See video at this link.)
