directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325ºF.

Step 2

Spread the shredded coconut on a baking sheet and toast until light golden brown, stirring a few times, about 7 minutes. Cool slightly, then transfer to a blender or food processor and process until coarsely chopped.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, whisk 3 cups water with the milk, molasses, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Stir in the oats, return to a boil and then lower the heat to maintain a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the oats are soft and the mixture has thickened, about 30 minutes; the oats should be very cream. Add more water if the mixture becomes too dry and the oats need more cooking time.

Step 4

Divide the oatmeal among four serving bowls and top with banana, mango, crystallized ginger and chopped almonds. Serve hot.
