Ingredients
½ cup rolled oats
1 cup milk or water
pinch salt
1 Tbs brown sugar
2 Tbs shredded sweetened coconut
1½ Tbs flaxseed meal
1 Tbs peanut butter
1 Tbs shredded sweetened coconut for topping
Directions
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the rolled oats, milk or water, and a pinch of salt. Microwave on high for about 2 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the oats are cooked and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
Remove from the microwave and stir in the brown sugar. Allow the oatmeal to rest for 1-2 minutes, during which time it will continue to thicken and reach a creamy consistency.
Fold in the 2 tablespoons of shredded sweetened coconut and the flaxseed meal, stirring until evenly distributed throughout the oatmeal.
Transfer the oatmeal to a serving bowl. Top with 1 tablespoon of peanut butter and sprinkle with an additional tablespoon of shredded sweetened coconut.
Microwave or place in a toaster oven for 1-2 minutes until the peanut butter becomes soft and melted, creating a creamy topping. Serve warm.
