- Continue to cook the oatmeal on low heat for about 10-15 minutes, or until it reaches your desired consistency. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- While the oatmeal is cooking, drain and chop the canned pineapple into small pieces. If desired, toast the dried coconut meat in a dry skillet over medium heat until it turns golden brown, enhancing its flavor.
- Once the oatmeal has finished cooking, remove it from the heat. Stir in the chopped pineapple, reserving a few pieces for garnish if desired.
- Spoon the oatmeal into bowls. Top with the toasted (or untoasted) dried coconut meat and any reserved pineapple pieces.
