This changes everything.
Fellow low carbers, rejoice; you can eat oatmeal.
I know, I know. It’s hard to contain yourself.
Good question. Yes, we can alert the media.
Okay, so you in the back wearing the”I <3 Oatmeal” t-shirt, you call CNN. You on the left with the “SUffering through Atkins” pin, you call the national news. I’ll tell the blogworld.
This is going to be big.
Dare I say this is better than mt beloved oatmeal? Dare I do. Oatmeal prepared with deliciously rich, sweet toasted coconut is waaaaaay better than your regular old breakfast.
Yes, I love you too.
I’d love to chat, but I think CNN wants an interview.
Low Carb Coconut “Oatmeal”
Tell everyone you know. Or you can do what I did and get on your roof, shout this news, and bug the heck out of the neighbors.
Serves 1 (Can double or triple to serve more or hungrier people)
Ingredients
1/4 cup coconut (You can use reduced fat coconut for a lower fat version, like I did)
2/3 cup coconut milk, almond milk, or other milk of choice
2/3 cup water
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon of coconut flour
Directions
Place the coconut in a pot over medium high heat. Toast, stirring frequently, for a few minutes, or until slightly golden. Be careful, as the coconut burns easily. Once toasted, add the milk and water to the coconut and stir to combine. Cover and bring to a boil. Once boiling, add coconut flour and continue to cook until desired consistency is reached. Add more or less coconut flour depending on how thick you want it.
I can’t wait to see how many variations I can come up with. Seriously, go spread the news! I am so excited!
Enjoy!

Oh my, that sounds really good!! Like a pudding and oatmeal hybrid. Good job!
Thank you SO much for the comment! I am a huge fan of yours, and it means so much to me that you’re dropping by. Thank you!
hey kelly i love your blog! i was wondering if the shredded coconut would soak up the water on its own bc i dont have coconut flour. do u think it would work with out?
Mmmm I love me some coconut! I bet the large amount of coconut will give you extra healthy, thick, and shiny hair, haha! And btw, the lighting in these pics looks great! And love the placemat~it’s very pretty.
Aaaaaaaaaw, you are so sweet.
And that means so much coming from such a wonderful photographer!
Ohgoodness this sounds lovely. I don’t think I have coconut on hand right now (I say that with every post. We had to clear out our pantry due to a bug problem… a foodie’s nightmare!!) but as soon as I get it I will be making this!! I have it bookmarked
You poor thing! That must be so awful. You will have a fully stocked pantry soon, especially if I have anything to say about it.
Oh wow, this looks delicious and totally unique. I love coconut.
Thank you! Coconut lovers, unite!
I need this in my life. ‘Nuff Said
Haha… you’re so great. But you knew that.
I wonder how it would be with some egg whites added or protein powder to up the protein content…
Would this work without the flour?
just bought coconut flour to make this AND OMG LIFE CHANGING! im gunna make huge batches and freeze them. anyt other ideas liek this!? low car high fiber low gi and heart healthy fats DELICIOUS
You are amazing. Excuse me while I start your fan club.
And I’m so sorry I didn’t get back to you sooner, but I really appreciate your questions! Thank you so much, and I hope you have a lovely day!
Sorry i know i reeny commented but i was hinking do u have any ideas on how to do an “overnigt oat” version of this or any other ideas like this?! Im in love! Ur amazig! Stillc ant wait ti see ur protein pancake recipe!thanks! Also any recommendations on bars or protein powders?
I just posted the same question Sammy…..hopefully Kelly will answer. I do my oats overnight as well and just heat them up in the morning….so much easier.
What’s the calorie an fat count on this?
Thanks so much for the question, Aubrey! Assuming you used reduced fat unsweetened shredded coconut and almond milk, the entire recipe has 117 and 9 grams of (healthy coconut and almond) fat. Thanks again, and I hope this helps!
Mine didn’t thicken up
Any ideas??
First off, thank you so much for making this recipe and I’m sorry it didn’t work out for you! When the coconut mixture doesn’t thicken (which it sometimes doesn’t if it’s feeling moody), you can add more coconut flour and continue to cook until the deisred consistency is reached. Thanks again, and I hope this helps!
When I do oatmeal, I generally will do an overnight SOAKED oatmeal. If I tried it with this version, would the coconut soak up the liquid enough where it could just be heated up in the morning. Kind of how oatbran would.
Yum! What’s the calorie count?
Hi Ally! There are about 120 calories in the whole recipe.
Hi! Sorry if this is a stupid question but with this recipe when you say coconut do you mean like dried dessicated coconut? thank you, love your blog
Hi Sharon! No, this is a great question! Yes, I mean dried, shredded, unsweetened coconut. Hope this helps!
