Blueberry Coconut Oatmeal Pudding Recipe (2024)

To make this more dessert-like I added brown sugar, chopped walnuts and sweetened coconut flakes during the cooling off period. It's still healthier than most desserts with these additions. The blueberries I used were organic but they were not very sweet, so that could be why I needed to add brown sugar. It's really a matter of personal taste and whether you want to use this as a breakfast or dessert item.

On the other hand, I like to take this more firmly toward breakfast by nixing the sweetener and adding a little minced fresh ginger and tumeric, both of which are astonishingly good with oatmeal, coconut, and rose.

Mine never did thicken and basically looks like purple oatmeal soup;i.e--terrible. Taste is good but it would be easier to say you're making oatmeal using coconut milk instead of water and stir blueberries in later to avoid all turning purple.

I have made this recipe as-is for what must be a million times now. I adore it. And with a few variations (try peach slices), also amazing.But this morning, genius struck (oh so humble am I).Swap the liquid proportions as such: the amount it says for coconut milk, brew strong chai tea. The amount it says for water, hot whole milk. Use honey. In place of blueberries, banana slices. I skipped the rose water and salt on this one. When done, just a dusting of cinnamon then chopped almonds on top.

To make it more healthy-breakfast like, I used shredded coconut instead of coconut milk, maple syrup instead of honey (because that's what I had on hand), and topped with some kefir. It's delicious. I can take or leave the rose water.

Our four-year-old and I gobbled this up for breakfast! We used tart blueberries, 1.5 tbsp maple syrup, full-fat coconut milk (same amount as in recipe), and skipped the rose water because we didn't have any. Mixed half the blueberries in with the oatmeal from the beginning and cooked everything together for 5 minutes, let it sit for 2 minutes, i.e. we skipped the second round of cooking. Texture was perfect, as was the flavor!

Made this once with blueberries and it was good. Second time around I didn't have any blueberries so I substituted with Craisins. They expanded nicely and it was different but still equally delicious.

I added just over a tablespoon of honey to a batch, and found it to be perfectly not-too-sweet for breakfast. I only had full fat coconut milk on hand, so I used half a can and compensated by adding a little extra water. I topped with unsweetened coconut flakes and slivered almonds on top. Delish!

I add roasted walnuts and top with toasted coconut. Yum!!

This was delicious! I used regular steel cut oats with 2c coconut milk and 2c water and cooked it to the desired consistency. I took it off the heat and added all the berries. They were warm and tasty but didn't disintegrate or turn the oatmeal purple (except for a few streaks). I added fresh blueberries on top for a lovely breakfast dish.

While it tasted OK, mine certainly did not look like the picture. I agree that adding the blueberries at the end would improve the color of the oatmeal. Could not taste the rosewater at all. I really think this is not a dessert, just a nice oatmeal variation.

Breakfast splurges? These have far less sugar than blueberry muffins. No splurge, enjoy guilt free!

The finished recipe looks nothing like this photo, but is tasty. I followed it exactly, opting to use agave nectar. I would try this with different fruits (peaches, apples, etc.) and add a crunchy topping like some toasted nuts or granola.

Delicious as is! I will try these readers' adjustments too!

Can anyone provide adjustments if you're using regular steel-cut oats rather than quick-cooking? Thanks.

I came home after being away for many days with nothing to eat for breakfast, but I managed to scrounge up some regular​ steel-cut oats in the back of my pantry and came on here to see what I could do with them. I had some blueberries and coconut milk in the freezer, and this was super easy to put together. A delicious breakfast and not too sweet. I only used a tablespoon or so of honey. Rosewater not needed. I topped with toasted shredded coconut and a little light brown sugar.

I have doubled the blueberries and used four tablespoons of honey. Delicious dessert, even when it's cold.
