Baked Blackberry Coconut Oatmeal

 Baked Blackberry Coconut Oatmeal


Baked Blackberry Coconut Oatmeal

This baked oatmeal is a delicious and nutritious way to start your day. The sweet blackberries and creamy coconut combine with oats for a warm, filling breakfast that’s full of fiber and healthy fats. It’s also easy to prepare in advance for busy mornings!

Ingredients

For the Oatmeal:

  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 ½ cups almond milk (or any milk of choice)
  • 1 cup coconut milk (canned, full-fat or light)
  • ½ cup shredded coconut (unsweetened)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey (optional, for sweetness)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg (optional, for added richness)

For the Topping:

  • 1 cup blackberries (fresh or frozen)
  • 1-2 tablespoons coconut flakes (optional, for extra coconut flavor)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for drizzling)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch or similar-sized baking dish.

2. Prepare the Oatmeal Base:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, almond milk, coconut milk, shredded coconut, vanilla extract, cinnamon, maple syrup (if using), baking powder, salt, and egg (if using). Stir everything together until well combined.

3. Assemble the Dish:

Pour the oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly. Gently press the blackberries into the top of the oatmeal mixture, distributing them evenly.

4. Bake:

Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the oatmeal is set and lightly golden on top.

5. Add Final Touches:

Once baked, remove from the oven and drizzle with additional maple syrup or honey if desired. Sprinkle with extra coconut flakes for garnish.

6. Serve:

Serve warm as a hearty breakfast or snack. You can also refrigerate any leftovers for easy reheating throughout the week.

Tips and Variations

  • Add-ins: Stir in nuts (e.g., almonds or walnuts) or seeds (e.g., chia or flaxseeds) for extra crunch and nutrients.
  • Vegan Option: Omit the egg and use plant-based milk (almond, oat, or soy).
  • Other Berries: Swap the blackberries for raspberries, blueberries, or strawberries for a different twist.
  • Sweetness Level: Adjust sweetness by adding more or less honey/maple syrup based on your taste preferences.

Storage:

  • Refrigerate: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days.
  • Reheat: To reheat, microwave individual portions or bake in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes.

This baked blackberry coconut oatmeal is a cozy and wholesome meal that’s sure to keep you satisfied and energized all morning! 🍓🥥✨
