Creole Spiced Oatmeal with Mango (Egg-Free)

Ingredients

• 2 cups Rolled Oats
• 4 cups Water or Plant-Based Milk
• 1 tsp Creole Spice Blend
• as needed Brown Sugar or Maple Syrup (to taste)
• 2 medium Mango (Diced)
• 1/4 cup Toasted Pecans (Chopped, for garnish)

Instructions

1. 1In a large heavy-bottomed pot, combine the 2 cups of rolled oats and the 4 cups of water or plant-based milk.
2. 2Place the pot over medium-high heat (350°F / 175°C) and bring the mixture to a rolling boil, stirring occasionally to prevent the oats from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
3. 3Once the mixture is boiling, immediately reduce the heat to low (200°F / 95°C). Stir in the 1 teaspoon of Creole spice blend until it is evenly distributed throughout the oatmeal.
4. 4Simmer the oatmeal for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring every few minutes. Continue cooking until the oatmeal has thickened to a creamy consistency and the rolled oats are tender when tasted.
5. 5Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in brown sugar or maple syrup, a little at a time, until the oatmeal is sweetened to your preferred taste. Divide the sweetened oatmeal evenly among 4 bowls.
6. 6Top each bowl of oatmeal with the 2 medium diced mangoes and the 1/4 cup of chopped toasted pecans.
