You list coconut milk in the ingredients, but in the directions, you use almond milk. Which one is preferable for this recipe? Thanks.
I personally like coconut milk but both are great options
I’m allergic to chia seeds. Is it needed for the recipe? If so, is there a substitute?
You can leave it out or substitute with flax seeds.
Sounds good, but no sweetener?
You can add raw honey or stevia if you need to sweeten it.
How about using real organic maple syrup for the sweetener?
That works
I keep finding healthy recipes that use coconut and/or tree nut milks and oils. My daughter is HIGHLY allergic to these, coconut especially!…what would be an alternative that would still give the health benefits?
Goat milk could be a good option and for oils try using ghee. You could also look into rice milk.
How to make pumpkin purée?
Roast a whole pumpkin and scoop out the meat to use as puree.
Very tasty! I added walnuts and a bit of raw honey. I find that steel cut oats take longer to cook than reflected by the cooking times in this recipe however.
Hi Dr. Axe, should I soak the oats overnight before cooking them? Thanks!

I have read that oats should be soaked ahead of time to reduce phytic acid. Is this true?

I made this a couple of days ago. I was really afraid because unfortunately I can’t stand the taste of coconut!! I found it to be very bland…so I added some stevia. it wasn’t so bad! I will make it again and add nuts and honey. :)
I love your recipes and the products in them.
I don’t see anything about soaking oats…
Feel free to soak the oats if you want!
Can you use old fashioned oats instead of steel oats
That’s what I had so that’s what I used. Just be sure to adjust your cooking time & liquid to milk ratio according to the directions on the old fashioned oats package. Other changes I made: Unsweetened vanilla hemp milk for the coconut milk & to boost healthy fat I stirred in ½ a mashed avocado. Also added a little maple syrup for sweetener. When I make this again, I might try to go savory with it. Here are some possible add-ins for that:
• 1/4 cup chopped toasted pecans
• 4-6 slices of bacon, cooked until crispy and crumbled
• 3 green onions, thinly sliced
• 1/2 tsp. seasoned salt
• 1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
These are a partial ingredient list that I found for a savory pumpkin dip so the quantities might need to be reduced by half maybe. Here is a link for that recipe.
