See how easy it is to cook up a pot of these Blueberry Coconut Steel-Cut Oats! We made this hearty breakfast Vegan and Gluten Free!

Let’s hear it for the breakfast lovers! Grab a blanket, put on some slippers, and let’s get cozy with a nice warm bowl of Blueberry Coconut Steel-Cut Oats. 🙂

I’m going to let you guys in on a little secret. This is the first time I’ve ever made oatmeal from scratch! Yep, I was one of those people that would usually buy the instant oatmeal in the single serve packages.

I actually had to quit eating oatmeal because I found out there is Gluten in it. So I figured my oatmeal days were over.

Well the other day I came across a bag of Bob’s Red Mill, Gluten Free Steel Cut Oats in my local grocery store. I thought to myself, ok let’s see if I can make some homemade oatmeal with this!

It turns out this was super easy to make! And Wayyy better than any package of instant oatmeal!

The key to making these Steel-Cut Oats taste amazing is to lightly toast them in some Coconut Oil first. Heat the Oats in a frying pan on med-high heat for about 2 minutes until they are nice and fragrant. Trust me, your kitchen will smell amazing from this!

While your Oats are toasting start heating up the Water, Vanilla Extract, Sea Salt, and Coconut Milk in a large saucepan over medium heat. When this starts simmering add in the Oats.

Reduce the heat to med-low making sure to keep it at a nice low simmer. Stir occasionally for about 30 minutes.

Now you’re probably thinking 30 minutes is a long time to make breakfast. Trust me, it will be worth every warm creamy bite! This batch makes 4 servings, so you can always make this ahead of time and keep it in the fridge. Then just heat it up in the microwave in the morning for a quick breakfast.

You can add the topping of your choice to this. I chose to add Blueberries and some Shredded Coconut.

I usually have a bag of frozen Blueberries in my freezer for making smoothies, so I just took out some of those and put them in my bowl to thaw while the Oats were cooking. The nice thing about frozen Blueberries is that when they thaw you get a bit of Blueberry juice as well, which is perfect for stirring into these Oats.
