baked raspberry and coconut oatmeal

baked raspberry and coconut oatmeal

Jon is finally starting to enjoy oatmeal for breakfast. He’s not a big fan of porridge versions, but likes the baked variety the best. To keep breakfast exciting and healthy every morning, I’ve been experimenting with different baked oatmeal combinations. Bananas are almost always part of the mix — they’re naturally sweet, so barely any sweetener is needed — and I always add another fruit to keep things interesting.

As you all know by now, I absolutely love coconut milk. I use it as a thickener in soups, a tenderizer for chicken, and a dairy-free ingredient in baking. I often use it as well in baked oatmeal instead of regular milk, using a combination of coconut milk and water to keep the calorie count low without sacrificing taste.

This recipe is based on Cookie and Kate’s baked oatmeal with blackberries and coconut, which I adapted quite a bit to reduce the calorie count and make it more diet-friendly. Blackberries are impossible to find during the winter season here, so I used raspberries instead. I decreased the amount of maple syrup needed too, because the bananas are sweet enough on their own.

It’s such an easy breakfast recipe to put together. You can prepare it and bake it the night before and then keep it in the fridge overnight to reheat the next morning. You can enjoy it for several mornings if you still have leftovers — although in our house, it never lasts more than a day!
