Coconut Corn Breakfast Porridge
Corn kernels bring small bursts of sweetness to a coconut-and-oat porridge. It is a change from fruit-topped oats without requiring a separate sauce or topping. Cook the frozen corn as directed and scrape the bottom of the pan as the oats thicken. Crushing a few kernels gives some of their sweetness to the porridge while leaving plenty of whole pieces.
