Making Blueberry Coconut Oatmeal Pudding

The process is quite simple.

• First prepare the sauce. Combine water, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice in a saucepan, whisking well until obtaining a homogeneous mixture.

• Add frozen blueberries and let simmer over medium-low heat, stirring carefully with a wooden spoon until sauce thickens, about 4-7 minutes. Stir in a bit more lemon juice and remove from heat.
• Next, prepare the oatmeal pudding. In a saucepan, combine oats, water, and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and stir constantly with a pointed wooden spoon or the handle end of a wooden spoon.

• Let simmer, while stirring, until cooked (about 5-10 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in coconut extract, coconut milk, sweetener, and coconut flakes.
• Spoon into small bowls or ramekins, top with the blueberry lemon sauce, and garnish with coconut flakes. Enjoy either warm or chilled!

See? Easy peasy! It is an explosion of flavor! Something new to make with oatmeal.
