Creamy oatmeal, cooked in coconut milk and maple syrup, and swirled with homemade strawberry chia jam, fresh pineapple, and even more coconut – so good, it could be dessert!

Oh, hot damn. This is my jam.

This is totally happening today.

And possibly all weekend.

Catchy millennial rap somewhat aside, this Pineapple Coconut Oatmeal with Strawberry Chia Jam makes me want to throw my hands up in the air and cheer for tasty, good-for-me morning noms.

(Ayer – Ay – Ayer – Ayer…)

Breakfast, for me, usually consists of coffee (always coffee) and a granola bar, or something equally quick. I’m constantly eating on the run, because my alarm clock is my worst best friend on work days.

One of these days, those days will be over. Meaning I might actually not hit the snooze button seven times before I get out of bed.

Until then, even on my days off, I have a full schedule quite often, and if I’m eating at home, it’s also usually rushed.

Sometimes I get so wrapped up in what I’m doing (which, more often than not, involves being in the kitchen anyway – just not to eat) that I put off eating until lunch, when I’m so beyond hungry I can’t see straight.

Soooo. On the rare mornings that I force myself to eat breakfast, and it’s not something involving bacon, round bread, or dripping with syrup, I like to fill up on oatmeal.

A big bowl of creamy, chewy bliss, topped with whatever fruity, nutty goodness I have lying around the kitchen.

In the case of this beautiful concoction, it’s made with lightly toasted Quaker® Oats and coconut almond milk (Mr. Crumby tries to avoid dairy when he can, so this deliciousness is a welcome new thang in the hizzy), swirled with homemade strawberry chia jam (but jar jam would work just as well in a pinch), and garnished with fresh pineapple and crunchy roasted coconut chips.

It’s a texture lover’s dream, I tells ya. And flavor to the max!

It’s almost enough to transport you through the chill of winter and straight to the beach with a frozen drink in your hand. In the meantime, at least it’ll keep you warm and cozy.

I have a not-so-secret secret to tell you.

Pineapple Coconut Oatmeal

1. In a clean, heavy-bottomed pot set over medium heat, add Quaker® Old Fashioned Oats. Allow oats to toast for 2-3 minutes, stirring to prevent burning.
