Hot Mango Crisp Syrup

I made up this recipe as a way to use up some green mangoes that I didn't know what to do with. My inspirations were memories of apple crisp and a mango crisp recipe a friend made once. I made it for my host family for breakfast this weekend and they begged me for it again for dinner, but we were out of mangoes, so I made it with diced star fruit and it turned out just as delicious. Enjoy!

Hot Mango Crisp Syrup

Ingredients

1 cup rolled oats

1-2 large, green mangos diced (or starfruit, or green apples)

2 Tbsp coconut oil (or vegetable oil, or butter)

1 cup brown sugar

1 Tbsp cinnamon

1 tsp ground ginger (optional)

Directions

In a medium sized sauce pan toast the rolled oats with the diced fruit in 1 Tbsp of oil, stirring constantly. After about 2-3 minutes the oats and fruit should be perfectly toasty, add in the rest of the ingredients and stir until the brown sugar gets bubbly. Serve hot over pancakes or waffles or ice cream!

Side Notes

• All of these measurements are eye-balled, and I haven’t personally tried the substitutions (other than with star fruit as previously mentioned), but I imagine they would work… it is a very flexible recipe
• makes roughly 4 generous servings
