Main Ingredients
- 5 tablespoons Oatmeal (approx. 40-50g)
- 1 medium Sweet Potato (approx. 100-120g)
- 200ml Coconut Milk
- 100ml Water
- Pinch of Salt
- For Sweetening: Honey, Allulose, or Oligosaccharide (to taste)
- For Aroma: Pinch of Cinnamon Powder (optional)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare a spacious, microwave-safe bowl. Add 5 tablespoons of oatmeal to the bowl. Note that oatmeal varieties absorb liquid differently, so adjust the amount based on your usual preference.
Step 2
Pour 200ml of coconut milk and 100ml of water over the oatmeal. Coconut milk adds a rich, creamy flavor and promotes long-lasting fullness, along with healthy fats. It’s especially beneficial in the morning for providing sustained energy to power your day.
Step 3
Microwave the bowl for 1 minute. This initial heating helps the oatmeal soften and absorb liquid, preparing it to blend beautifully with the sweet potato in the next step.
Step 4
Wash the medium-sized sweet potato thoroughly. You can microwave it whole for about 3-5 minutes, or until tender. Once cooked and slightly cooled, use a spoon to mash the sweet potato directly in its skin. Aim for a consistency with some small chunks remaining for a pleasant texture, rather than a completely smooth puree.
Step 5
Remove the oatmeal mixture from the microwave. Add the mashed sweet potato and stir well to combine. Return the bowl to the microwave and cook for another 1 minute 30 seconds to 2 minutes. Ensure both the oatmeal and sweet potato are heated through and well incorporated. Stirring halfway through can help ensure even heating.
Step 6
Finally, enhance the flavor with a pinch of salt and a sprinkle of cinnamon powder, if desired. For added sweetness, stir in honey, allulose, or oligosaccharide to your liking. Allulose is a great sugar substitute for those following a healthy diet. Mix everything together until well combined. Your nutritious and creamy Sweet Potato Oatmeal Porridge is ready to be enjoyed warm!
