Instructions
The night before you plan to serve, add 6 cups of coconut milk, raw barley, raw oats, bulgur, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt into a large saucepan. Stir well to combine.
Step 2: Bring to a Boil
Place the saucepan on the stove over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil while stirring to prevent sticking.
Step 3: Rest the Grains
Turn off the heat once it begins to boil. Cover the saucepan with a lid and let it sit for 30 minutes. This helps the grains soften.
Step 4: Add Remaining Coconut Milk
After 30 minutes, add the remaining 6 cups of coconut milk. Stir well until everything is fully combined.
Step 5: Refrigerate Overnight
Transfer the mixture to a bowl or keep it in the saucepan (covered). Place it in the refrigerator overnight.
Step 6: Serve
The next morning, stir the mixture. It should be thick and creamy. If it’s too thick, add a little coconut milk to thin it.
Spoon into bowls and top with:
Fresh fruits
Chia seeds
Puffed quinoa
Nuts or seeds
Enjoy!
Notes
Stir occasionally while boiling to prevent sticking.If the mixture becomes too thick, add extra coconut milk.Adjust sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup.The grains will continue to thicken as they sit in the fridge.
