Toasted Coconut Oat Bran

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
• 14 oz can light coconut milk
• 1.5 cups water
• 1 cup oat bran
• 1/4 tsp salt

Directions

1. Put the shredded coconut in a dry skillet. Set it over medium-low heat and stir as it cooks, until the coconut turns golden brown. Take it out of the hot pan right away so it does not keep browning, then set it aside.
2. In a sauce pot, combine the can of coconut milk, 1.5 cups of water, the oat bran, and 1/4 tsp salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until the mixture has thickened.
3. Spoon the oat bran into 4 bowls and sprinkle the toasted coconut over the top. If you’d like, add your preferred sweetener, such as brown sugar, honey, maple syrup, or jam, or leave it just as it is.
