We’re always trying to find great alternatives to classic favorites in this home. Since my daughter consistantly eats oatmeal for us for breakfast we wanted to continue our luck with the one meal we know she’ll finish. So when I received my Tropical Traditions Coconut Oil I knew exactly what I’d to do try it out… put it in our oatmeal!
When I was done making the first batch of coconut oatmeal I went into the fridge to grab the kids some milk for their sippy cups. I looked over and saw an open package of mini chocolate chips from my husbands latest baking adventure so I grabbed the bag and sprinkled a few chocolate chips over the top of each bowl for an added treat. OMG! This oatmeal tasted exactly like my favorite chocolate chip oatmeal cookie. Delicious!
I cannot wait to start using Tropical Traditions coconut oil in other recipes. Added benefit? We can use it as cloth diaper friendly diaper cream too! Who knew? Plus there are so many other ways to use this stuff. Go here to find more!
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon Tropical Traditions coconut oil

Pour milk into a small saucepan and heat on medium.
Stir in coconut oil and coconut flakes. Stir until oil is completely melted. Add in oats. Sprinkle on cinnamon and continue to stir. Cook for 3-5 minutes.
Pour into a bowl and sprinkle with chocolate chips for an added bit of sweetness!

Mmmm, this looks so good!
Sounds yummy- can’t wait to try it!!!
I’ve made a similar recipe with oatmeal, coconut flakes, almonds, almond milk and chocolate chips. I’ve never thought to add coconut oil. Great idea.
I have seen so many terrific ideas for Coconut oil. Love the oatmeal idea! Some Coconut oatmeal chocolate macaroons would work too!
We use coconut oil in cooking & baking, and as a skin moisturiser.

Oatmeal is one of my favorites. I’d really love to try this recipe it sounds great.

This sounds absolutely delicious!!! Coconut, chocolate, & cinnamon, yummy! I’ve used coconut oil to condition my hair, but haven’t cooked with it much. I need to start!
Yup, pretty much use it for just about everything in our home. Lotion, diaper creme, on any wound to disinfect, burns, rashes, eye makeup remover, personal lubricant (yup, I said that), facial moisturizer, to name a few.
Love, love, love coconut oil. It’s kinda like a friend to our family. 🙂
I love finding new ways to make oatmeal even yummier! Thanks for the recipe.
I just used coconut oil to make popcorn and it was the BEST popcorn I’ve ever made. So yummy! I’m trying this soon!
This sounds so good! I love coconut oil use it for cooking, hair and skin!
I use coconut oil…I put it on the ends of my hair after long days at the beach. Salt water dries it out, but the coconut oil seems to prevent frizzies and dryness!
This looks SOOO good!
