Apricot Coconut Oatmeal

Christmas morning breakfast calls for sunshine, even if its in the form of apricots…

Oatmeal porridge is so versatile, and we’re loving this combo right now.

Apricots + coconut + oats = dreamy breakfast:) Little helper approved! The secret here is the spoonful of coconut oil. It’s not a lot, but adds a lot of flavour and creaminess to this mix!

This is similar in creaminess to my apple pie oatmeal porridge, but has a totally new flavour to switch things up at breakfast!

For those who have a helper who knows how to use scissors well, have her snip up the apricots for you! It’s apparently really fun!

Creamy, healthy, and best of all- kid approved!

If you’re looking for a Christmas Morning breakfast idea, this might be for you… 🙂 Or whip it up some other morning!
