Ingredients
Instructions
- Let’s start with the coconut sauce. Place the coconut milk, sugar and cornflour in a frying pan.
- Mix well with a whisk to remove any lumps of cornflour. You can swap the sugar for your favourite sweetener.
- Turn the hob on to a medium heat. Keep stirring occasionally as it thickens very quickly; when you see it start to bubble up at the edges, cook for a further 30 to 60 seconds, stirring to prevent large lumps from forming. Don’t let it get too thick, as it may thicken further whilst it rests.
- In another pan, we’ll make the quick-cook oats. Bring the coconut milk and maple syrup to the boil.
- Once it’s boiling, add the quick-cooking oats, stir well, reduce the heat and cook for 3 minutes.
- Remember that quick-cooking oats take less time to soften than rolled oats or traditional oats.
- Stir occasionally to ensure it cooks evenly and doesn’t stick to the pan. After 3 minutes, remove from the heat and add the vanilla.
- All that’s left is to cut up the mango – I recommend using one that’s very ripe so it’s soft and sweet. Cut half a mango, peel it and slice it thinly or dice it.
- Spoon the oats onto a plate, arrange the sliced mango on one side and top with the coconut sauce on the other.
- Finish with a few sesame seeds and enjoy straight away.
