Delicious article Sharon! Thank you!
Can this oatmeal dish be made with unsweetened vanilla almond milk instead of coconut milk?
Thanks!
Yes, you can use almond milk instead of the coconut milk, but it won’t be quite as rich, as the lite coconut milk offers a little bit of fat to the recipe.
Do I blend the banana’s
You don’t blenderize the bananas in step 4; you fold sliced bananas in so that there are pieces of bananas and strawberries, reserving some for the topping.
