The star of this recipe is the combination of old-fashioned rolled oats and creamy almond milk. By allowing the oats to soak overnight, they become soft and tender, creating a luscious texture in the final dish. The almond milk adds a subtle nutty flavor and enhances the creaminess of the oatmeal.
To elevate the taste and nutrition of the oatmeal, we incorporate the delightful sweetness of lucuma powder, a natural sweetener derived from the lucuma fruit. Its caramel-like flavor complements the blueberries wonderfully, adding a hint of indulgence to each spoonful. Coconut oil provides a touch of richness and adds a hint of tropical aroma to the oatmeal. Ground vanilla bean and cinnamon lend warm and comforting notes, enhancing the overall flavor profile.
