Coconut Oatmeal

For years you never would have convinced me that there was such a thing as special occasion oatmeal, but then I found this delicious recipe that I now make a couple times a year:

Coconut Oatmeal

4 cups whole milk
14 oz can coconut milk
2 tbsp packed brown sugar
1 cinnamon stick
1/4 tsp salt
3 cups instant oats
1 tbsp butter

Bring milk, coconut milk, brown sugar, cinnamon stick and salt to a boil in a large, heavy sauce pan, stirring with a whisk.

Reduce heat to moderate and stir in oats. Return to a boil. Cook while stirring for 1 minute.

Stir in butter, then remove from heat and let stand covered for 5 minutes.

Remove cinnamon stick and stir oatmeal before serving.
