FOR THE CARAMELIZED FRUIT
1 teaspoon Butter
1/2 cups Fresh Mango, Diced
1/2 cups Fresh Pineapple, Diced (you Can Also Use Defrosted Frozen Pineapple)
1 teaspoon Brown Sugar
1 Tablespoon Unsweetened Shredded Coconut
FOR THE OATMEAL:
1 cup Old Fashioned Oats
1-1/4 cup Coconut Milk (not Canned)
1/2 teaspoons Cinnamon
1/4 teaspoons Kosher Salt
1 Tablespoon Brown Sugar
1/2 Tablespoons Agave Nectar (or Honey, Or More Brown Sugar)
1/4 teaspoons Coconut Extract

1
In a medium-sized saute pan melt the butter over medium high heat. Add the diced mango, pineapple and brown sugar. Reduce the heat to medium and let the fruit saute for approximately 7 minutes or until it caramelizes slightly and softens. Remove from the heat and stir in the shredded coconut.
2
In a medium saucepan add the oats, coconut milk, cinnamon, and salt. Bring them to a boil and then reduce the heat to medium low. Let the oats simmer until almost all of the milk is absorbed (about 5-6 minutes). Remove from heat. Off the heat add in the brown sugar, agave nectar, coconut extract, and half of the caramelized fruit. Stir to combine.
3
Split the oatmeal into two bowls and top with the remainder of the caramelized fruit. Sprinkle on more coconut and cinnamon if desired.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Swap the honey for maple syrup or agave for a slightly different but equally rich sweetness.
Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
