  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Oatmeal Base

  • 2 ½ cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
  • 2 Tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 Tablespoon ground flaxseed
  • 1 Tablespoon solidified coconut oil (not melted)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup ripe bananas, mashed

Topping

  • ¼ cup coconut sugar
  • ½ cup oat flour
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 3 Tablespoons coconut oil, solid (not melted)

To Serve

  • Coconut butter for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly spray an 8×8 inch square baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Make the Topping: In a small bowl, combine the coconut sugar, oat flour, cinnamon, and solid coconut oil. Use a fork to mix until the mixture becomes crumbly. Set aside while you prepare the oatmeal base.
  3. Mix Oatmeal Batter: In a large mixing bowl, add the rolled oats, cinnamon, baking powder, sea salt, almond milk, maple syrup, ground flaxseed, solid coconut oil, vanilla extract, and mashed bananas. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.
  4. Assemble and Bake: Pour the oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking dish and evenly sprinkle the crumbly topping over the surface. Bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping turns lightly browned and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  5. Cool and Serve: Remove the baked oatmeal from the oven and allow it to cool for 10-15 minutes. Cut into six portions and serve warm with a drizzle of coconut butter on top for added richness and flavor.

Notes

  • You can substitute almond milk with any other plant-based or dairy milk if preferred.
  • Ensure the coconut oil remains solid for the crumbly topping to achieve the perfect texture.
  • This baked oatmeal stores well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and can be reheated for a quick breakfast.
  • For added nuts or fruits, feel free to mix them into the oatmeal batter before baking.
  • Using ripe bananas adds natural sweetness and moisture, but you can adjust the quantity or omit based on taste and texture preferences.
