Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups old-fashioned oats
- 3 cups water
- 10 caramels individually wrapped
- 0.25 cups shredded toasted coconut
- 0.25 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, bring 3 cups of water to a boil. Once boiling, stir in the 1 1/2 cups of old-fashioned oats. Reduce the heat to medium and let it simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes or until the oats are tender and the mixture is creamy.
- While the oats are cooking, unwrap the 10 caramels and place them in a small bowl. You can microwave them for about 15-20 seconds until they soften, or add them directly to the oatmeal during the last minute of cooking to melt them into the oats.
- Once the oats are cooked and creamy, stir in the melted caramels until fully incorporated. This will give your oatmeal that rich caramel flavor.
- Gently fold in the 1/4 cup of shredded toasted coconut and 1/4 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips. Allow the chocolate to melt slightly into the warm oats, adding a luxurious touch.
- Spoon the Samoa oatmeal into serving bowls. For an extra touch, feel free to sprinkle additional toasted coconut or chocolate chips on top. Dive in and enjoy every delicious bite!
