01 - In a medium saucepan, combine rolled oats, coconut milk, water or plant-based milk, maple syrup or honey, sea salt, and vanilla extract.
02 - Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking to the bottom of the pan.
03 - Cook for 7 to 10 minutes, or until the oats have softened and absorbed most of the liquid, achieving a creamy consistency.
04 - Remove from heat and let the oats sit for 1 to 2 minutes to allow the mixture to thicken slightly.
05 - Divide the cooked oats evenly between two serving bowls.
06 - Top each bowl with shredded coconut, fresh berries, chia seeds, and toasted coconut flakes.
07 - Drizzle with additional maple syrup or honey if desired, and serve warm.
