Pre-soak 1 cup of oats in 1 and 1/4 cup of water for some time (overnight if desired).

Turn on the stove to a little below medium heat.

Once the oats have softened, add 1 and 1/2 cup of coconut milk to the oats.

Stir the mixture and let it cook for 7 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Monitor the consistency; if it’s too thick, add additional milk (not coconut milk) to thin it out.

Grind fresh nutmeg while the oats are cooking for extra flavor.

After 7 minutes, check the consistency of the porridge; if desired, add 2 tablespoons of sweetener (condensed milk or honey) for sweetness and creaminess.

Optionally, add salt and vanilla to taste.

Serve the porridge, optionally garnishing with freshly ground nutmeg.
