| photo by recipe author |
Servings: 1
Preparation Time: 25 minutes
- 2 chai tea bags
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup rolled oats [1]
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk*
- 1/2 teaspoon coconut extract
- 1/2 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1/2 banana, mashed
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon [2]
- 1 tablespoon flaked [3] or unsweetened, reduced fat coconut [3]
Recipe: In a coffee or glass measuring cup, heat water and steep the tea bags for at least 5 minutes. The stronger the tea, the more the chai taste will come through.
In a small pot, heat the tea and milk over medium heat. Stir in oats, coconut extract, chia seeds and banana. Cook for approx. 20 minutes, or until desired consistency.
Pour into a bowl and sprinkle cinnamon and coconut on top.
* For the freshest coconut milk make homemade coconut milk [4]. (See video at this link [4].)
