At first, coconut and ginger might sound like an unlikely combination, but hear us out. Creamy coconut milk + nutty coconut flakes + earthy, spicy ginger = a complete flavor explosion. Go ahead, try it for breakfast.


Ingredients

Oats

¾ cup old-fashioned oats

¼ teaspoon ground ginger

¼ to ½ cup coconut milk

1 tablespoon agave syrup

Toppings

¼ cup toasted raw coconut flakes

2 tablespoons candied ginger, chopped

Directions

1. Make the Oats: In a 1-pint mason jar, mix the oats with the ground ginger to combine.

2. In a small bowl, mix the coconut milk (if you prefer a thicker oatmeal, use less milk) with the agave syrup.

3. Pour the coconut milk mixture into the jar. Screw on the lid and refrigerate overnight, about 8 hours.

4. Make the Toppings: In the morning, top the oatmeal with the coconut flakes and candied ginger. Eat immediately or screw the top on and take it on the go.
