Ingredients
Coconut Milk - 2 oz (1/8 cup)1.75 C Steel Cut Oats (sometimes called Groats)7 cups water7 T Cinnamon
Directions
Add oats, water & coconut milk to large pot. Heat to boiling then simmer about 20 minutes, or until desired consistency/tenderness.

Portion out into 7 bowls for the week & top each with 1 T cinnamon before putting on lids & putting in the fridge. Breakfast is done for the week!

Change it up by adding some chopped up fresh or frozen fruit, or even craisins.

Tip: One can of full-fat coconut milk is about 13.5 oz, so at just 2 oz for this recipe for 7 servings, one can goes a LONG way. I pour the extra out into ice cube trays - putting 1 oz in each cube & freeze. Once frozen, pop the cubes out into a freezer bag. Then you just grab 2 each week & go for about the next month!
I wouldn't recommend buying light coconut milk. It is just watered down to cut down the calories (who wants to pay for water?!?). Use the full fat stuff & you just use a much smaller amount each time.

    Seven tablespoons (T) of cinnamon is definitely overkill; I'm wondering whether AUDMKAMP meant teaspoons (t). I added almonds, raisins, and a soupçon of maple syrup. I would experiment with using more coconut milk and less water, if that didn't involve so many calories and fat grams. - 7/5/20
