Growing up, coconut cream of Wheat was a cherished breakfast staple in my home.
It always reminded me of chilly mornings when my family would gather around the table, sharing stories and laughter.
Now as a vegan chef, I’ve recreated this dish using whole plant foods, and it’s amazing how a simple bowl of warm porridge can be so comforting.
I love that you can customize it with your favorite toppings, making it feel fresh every time you make it!

Ingredients & Substitutions
I love using almond oat milk for its nutty flavor, but feel free to swap it out for your favorite plant-based oat milk. The sweetness can also be adjusted with more or less maple syrup depending on your taste. And if you want to boost the protein, consider adding a scoop of your favorite plant-based protein powder right before serving.
Tips & Notes
- •I love to keep some chopped nuts handy for extra crunch and healthy fats—walnuts or almonds are my favorite!
- •If you’re in a hurry, you can prep the dry ingredients in advance and just add the wet ingredients in the morning!
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes, I’ll add a tablespoon of peanut vegan butter or almond vegan butter for a protein boost and a delicious nutty flavor.
- •For a chocolatey twist, mix in a tablespoon of cocoa powder or top with dark chocolate chips.
Storage & Freezing
You can store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just add a splash of plant-based oat milk when reheating to get that creamy consistency back!
