🍅 Ingredients

You will need the following ingredients t make this breakfast oatmeal bake from scratch:

oatmeal - rolled oats, I use quaker rolled old fashioned oats but you can use quick cooking oats too. Those are rolled out thinner.
coconut milk - canned or homemade coconut milk
pineapple - I use sliced canned pineapples but you can use fresh ones too
sugar - white regular or brown
cinnamon - ground, adds comforting flavors
cardamom - ground, also adds a delicious rounded taste to the pineapple and coconut
desiccated coconut (optional)

Flavoring Tip: Instead of adding cardamom and cinnamon, season with an oatmeal spice blend.

spread pineapple and oatmeal in a baking dish

Step 2

Pour coconut milk over the oatmeal mix and combine the mass to a smooth layer.

Top with some sugar and bake.

Step 3

Once baked, leave to cool for 5 minutes.

Cut into serving sizes. I cut them into 6 squares.

🍱 Storing

Once your baked oatmeals have cooled down, cut them into bar-sized pieces.

I think they taste best the same day but if you have leftovers, that's fine too.

Just wrap the breakfast oat bars into cling wrap.

You can keep them out for up to 24 hours, the next day, and they will be good, but only if you live in a cool and dry environment.

So you can leave them out overnight if your climate is cold and dry

In a wet and hot tropical climate, I recommend that you store your oatmeal bars in the fridge.

Yes, they will be cold, but you can just leave them out to get to room temperature.

💭 FAQs

What's the texture? Is this baked oatmeal soft or crunchy?

They can be soft or crispy after baking. It all depends on how long you bake them. I bake them at 350 Fahrenheit/ 180 Celsius for 30 minutes for soft chewy oatmeals. Bake them another additional 15-20 minutes and your baked oats will turn out crunchy.

Which oats are the best for baking?

Old-fashioned rolled oats are the best for baking, but you can use quick-cooking oats too if this is what you have at home.

For whom are these baked oatmeals?

Frankly, anybody can enjoy these fruit-loaded healthy baked oatmeal. But they are also vegan, plant-based friendly, and dairy-free (lactose-free). They can be gluten-free if you use an oatmeal brand that is gluten-free (check labels) and the same goes for nut-free (depends on if oats were processed in a factory for nut processing). Also, they are great for you if you are diabetic and totally delicious during a weight loss program. Toddlers may enjoy it too, but in that case, try to add small pineapple pieces so that they can eat it easier.

When and how to serve theme up?

I think the baked oatmeal is great for breakfast or brunch but feel free to enjoy them any time of the day as an after-lunch dessert or afternoon snack.
