Instructions
For the Oatmeal
- Follow the instructions for the type of oatmeal you choose to use in this recipe. I used Organics Steel Cut Oats.. Bring 1 ¾ cups water and a ½ teaspoon salt to boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and set aside.
For the Sweet Potatoes
- Pierce several holes through the skins of the sweet potatoes. Place on microwave-safe plate and microwave for 3 minutes. Turn potatoes over and microwave for another 3 minutes. Let sit for 2 minutes. Remove and slice down middle and then across diameter into little squares, being careful not to pierce through the skin. Using a large spoon, scoop out flesh of potatoes and set aside.
For the Coconut Whipped Cream
- Combine coconut cream, powdered sugar and vanilla in a large mixing bowl or table top mixer. Beat vigorously until well-blended, about 1-2 minutes. If you don't have a mixer, use a fork and whip until well-blended.
Putting it all Together
- You can adjust the servings of this recipe to suit your individual, or family size in the above serving box. It will make about 6 small servings.
- Start with one serving to make these instructions easier. Place several spoonfuls of oatmeal in a bowl. If the oats are too thick, pour some almond milk and stir thoroughly. Top first with vegan butter and coconut sugar so it can melt deliciously all over the hot oats. Next, top with sweet potato and sliced bananas. If you like raisins, add them too or any other goodies you desire. Finish with a humongous dollop of coconut cream and crunchy pecans. Enjoy!
