Coconut Baked Oatmeal
From: Lynn @ www.lynnskitchenadventures.com/
I came up with coconut baked oatmeal because I am really trying to work on making breakfast healthier.
Everyone in our family loves baked oatmeal and it is a healthy breakfast, so it works well for us and we eat it at least once a week.
But since we eat it so often, I am always trying to come up with different versions to change it up.
An this coconut baked oatmeal is my newest baked oatmeal creation.
I love making this coconut baked oatmeal the night before because all I have to do is put it in the oven in the morning.
So easy and so good!
Ingredients:
3 cups quick cooking oats
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 cup milk (coconut milk works well)
2 tablespoons coconut oil (you could use butter or regular oil here, but I like coconut oil for this one)
2 eggs
2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup yogurt, either plain or vanilla works
3/4 cup coconut
Directions:
Mix all ingredients together and stir well.
Spread in a greased 9×13 pan.
Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes.
If you like it a little crunchy on top cook for a few minutes longer.
serve with warm milk poured over top.
Enjoy!
Some tips on the baked oatmeal by Lynn.
Q: Your recipes use mainly quick cooking oats can I use regular or old fashioned oats?
The answer is yes you can use either quick oats or old fashioned oats. Each one will give you a different texture, but they both work. My family prefers all quick cooking oats or part quick cooking and part old fashioned.
I have made them with all quick cooking, all old fashioned, and a mix of both, and they all work great.
Q: Does baked oatmeal reheat well and if so how do I reheat it?
Reheating the baked oatmeal works fine. I do it all the time. I like to bake a double or triple batch and let my kids reheat it in the microwave for breakfast for several days.
This works well and let’s everyone enjoy a hot healthy breakfast for several days without much work for me.
Q: Can I freeze the baked oatmeal? And if so, do I freeze before or after baking?
Yes, you can freeze the baked oatmeal after it is cooked. It works well cut it into squares after it is cooled, wrap it in plastic wrap or a freezer bag and freeze. Then you can just take it out and heat it as needed.
