Quick and easy mango oatmeal recipe, made with simple ingredients. This healthy breakfast oatmeal is creamy and packed with mango, coconut and cranberries.
As a kid, I REFUSED to eat oatmeal until my Mom made this tropical mango oatmeal for me.
Ever since I can remember, I have LOVED mangoes and other tropical flavors.
Regular oatmeal is so BLAND and tasteless but these mango oats are a great way to start off the day.
I play around with toppings add-ins all the time and you should have FUN with this recipe too.
Even if you are not an oatmeal fan, I bet you will LIKE this!
It's almost like having DESSERT for breakfast...lol.Â
Here and some TIPS for making this coconut mango oatmeal:
- Don't replace milk with water because milk adds creaminess to this oatmeal.
- Don't replace butter with oil because butter adds a nice flavor and creaminess to this recipe too.
- Instead of cinnamon, you can use 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to make vanilla mango oatmeal.
- To sweeten this breakfast oatmeal, you can use honey, brown sugar, granulated sugar, maple syrup, molasses or even artificial sweeteners like Splenda.
- If you are using sweetened mango puree, omit all other sweeteners.
- To make overnight mango oatmeal, add all the ingredients in a mason jar or a big breakfast bowl and mix well. Cover with saran wrap and store in the fridge and enjoy in the morning for a quick breakfast.
- To make mango oatmeal smoothie, replace old fashioned oats with quick cooking oats. Add all the ingredients in a blender and pulse until smooth.
- To make baked mango oatmeal, mix all the ingredients in a large bowl and then pour it in an oven-safe dish. Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes.
