Baked Blackberry Coconut Oatmeal

This Baked Blackberry Coconut Oatmeal is a warm, hearty, and wholesome breakfast that’s perfect for meal prep or a cozy morning treat. With the sweetness of blackberries, the richness of coconut, and the heartiness of oats, it’s a balanced way to start your day.


Ingredients

For the Oatmeal:

  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blackberries
  • 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk (full-fat or light)
  • 1 cup almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey (adjust sweetness to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened or sweetened, based on your preference)
  • 1/4 cup chopped almonds or walnuts (optional, for crunch)

For the Topping (Optional):

  • Extra blackberries or coconut flakes for garnish
  • A drizzle of honey or maple syrup

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish or similar-sized oven-safe dish with butter or non-stick spray.


2. Prepare the Oatmeal Mixture:

In a large bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, almond milk, eggs, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined. Stir in the rolled oats, shredded coconut, and blackberries, gently mixing to combine. If you’re adding chopped nuts, stir those in as well.


3. Bake the Oatmeal:

Pour the oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula to spread the mixture evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the oatmeal is set in the center. If you’d like a firmer texture, bake it for an extra 5-10 minutes.


4. Serve:

Let the baked oatmeal cool slightly before serving. Garnish with extra blackberries, coconut flakes, or a drizzle of honey or maple syrup for extra sweetness.


Serving Suggestions:

  • For Breakfast: Enjoy it as a warm, comforting breakfast with a cup of coffee or tea.
  • For a Snack: It’s also great as a midday snack or dessert.
  • Add Protein: Top with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a scoop of protein powder for an extra protein boost.

Tips and Variations:

  • Fruit Variations: Swap blackberries with raspberries, strawberries, or blueberries for different fruity flavors.
  • Sweetness Adjustments: Adjust the amount of sweetener (maple syrup or honey) based on the sweetness of your fruit and personal taste.
  • Vegan Option: For a vegan version, use flax eggs (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water, let sit for 5 minutes) and ensure that your coconut milk is plant-based.
  • Make-Ahead: This baked oatmeal is perfect for meal prep! You can assemble it the night before, cover it with plastic wrap, and refrigerate it overnight. In the morning, just pop it into the oven and bake.

Storage:

  • Refrigerate: Store leftover oatmeal in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4-5 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven.
  • Freeze: You can also freeze individual portions for up to 2 months. Reheat in the microwave or bake straight from frozen.

This Baked Blackberry Coconut Oatmeal is a comforting, healthy, and flavorful breakfast or snack option that’s both filling and delicious! 🍓🥥
