This might be the strangest colored food I’ve ever posted here.

Wait! Don’t run click away yet.

The thing is, y’all want this oatmeal to have this awesome shade of purple. Here’s why:

Fresh, sweet blueberries are warmed through and release their juices into the oatmeal while it’s cooking – thus giving the oatmeal its’ color and infusing it with intense, blueberry flavor.

Because how boring would it be to not even taste the blueberries? Omahgaw-boring.

The shredded coconut adds a nice texture to the oatmeal, as well as giving it a natural sweetness. Plus, blueberries + coconut are pretty much one of the best combos known to man me.

Honestly, you might even want to eat this for dessert – no one is stopping you.

Blueberry Coconut Oatmeal
Serves: 1 very hungry person or 2
Time: 10 minutes

1 C coconut milk (I used canned but the refrigerated kind works fine)
1/2 C old fashioned oats
1/2 t vanilla extract
Dash of ground cinnamon
Pinch of salt
1/4 C fresh blueberries
1/4 C shredded coconut
Optional: sweetener of your choice, to taste

Bring coconut milk and oats to a gentle boil on medium heat. Turn down to low heat and stir continuously, letting it simmer for about 8-10 minutes or until oats have absorbed most of the milk. Stir in vanilla, cinnamon, salt, blueberries and shredded coconut. Garnish with additional blueberries and coconut, if desired. Enjoy!
