Baked Oatmeal Raspberry Coconut (Printable)

A delightful plant-based baked oatmeal traybake, brimming with juicy raspberries and toasted coconut. Perfect for breakfast.

# What You Need:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 2 cups rolled oats
02 - 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
03 - 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
04 - 1/4 cup coconut sugar or brown sugar
05 - 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
06 - 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
07 - 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt

→ Wet Ingredients

08 - 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
09 - 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
10 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
11 - 2 tablespoons maple syrup

→ Fruit

12 - 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen raspberries

# Directions:

01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with coconut oil or cooking spray.
02 - In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, shredded coconut, chopped walnuts (if using), coconut sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and sea salt. Mix thoroughly to distribute the spices evenly.
03 - In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the almond milk, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and maple syrup until fully emulsified.
04 - Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
05 - Gently fold 1 cup of the raspberries into the batter, taking care not to crush them.
06 - Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly with a spatula. Scatter the remaining 1/2 cup raspberries across the top.
07 - Bake for 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
08 - Let the baked oatmeal cool for 10 minutes before slicing into squares. Serve warm, optionally topped with extra shredded coconut or an additional drizzle of maple syrup.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The crispy, golden coconut on top creates this incredible texture contrast that makes every bite interesting
  • You can assemble it the night before and just pop it in the oven when you wake up
  • It feeds six people easily but somehow disappears even faster when teenagers are involved
02 -
  • Don't skip the cooling time because it will seem slightly underdone when it first comes out of the oven
  • If using frozen raspberries, don't thaw them first or they'll make the mixture too watery
  • The oatmeal continues to cook slightly as it cools, so removing it when it's just set is perfect
03 -
  • Check the oatmeal at 30 minutes since ovens vary and the sugars can brown quickly
  • Letting it cool completely makes it easier to cut into neat squares for meal prep containers
