Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 2 cups / 7 oz / 200 g rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 teaspoon aluminum-free baking powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • Scant 1/2 teaspoon fine-grain sea salt
  • 1 can / 14 oz / light coconut milk
  • 1/3 cup / 2 oz water
  • 1/3 cup / 2 oz / 60 g pure maple syrup (or raw sugar)
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly (or melted coconut oil)
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 ripe bananas, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1 1/2 cups / 6.5 oz / 185 g blackberries or other berries

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees with a rack in the top third of the oven.
  • Butter or spray cooking oil on the inside of an 8-inch square baking dish.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together the oats, coconut, sugar (if you’re using it in place of maple syrup), baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the maple syrup (if using), coconut milk, water, egg, half of the butter, and the vanilla.
  • Place the banana slices in a single layer on the bottom of the baking dish.
  • Arrange two-thirds of the berries on top of the bananas.
  • Cover the fruit with the dry oat mixture, then drizzle the wet ingredients over the oats. Wiggle the baking dish to make sure the milk moves down through the oats.
  • Scatter the remaining berries across the top, and sprinkle some extra coconut flakes and raw sugar on top if you’d like.
  • Bake for 45 minutes, until the top is golden. Remove your baked oatmeal from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Drizzle the remaining melted butter on the top before serving.
