1/8 teaspoon coconut extract
1/4 cup shredded coconut (optional)

Preparation

Place water in a medium saucepan and bring to and bring to a boil.
Add oats and reduce to a simmer.
Add the extracts. (A caution here; one drop if lemon adds a certain clean quality that works well with the fruit. More than that and the results are likey to be off. If you are concerned about your accuracy, I would omit rather than add too much.).
Cook as directed on you pacakage somewhere between 3 to 5 minutes.
One minute before the oatmeal is done, stir in the banana slices, pineapple and oranges.
Divide into two bowls, garnish with coconut if using.
Two tablespoons of shredded coconut is 1 point.
