Coconut Almond Baked Oatmeal

October 19, 2015 by Katie

Weekends are the perfect time to make delicious breakfasts, whether it’s pancakes, eggs and bacon, or leftover cold pizza…I mean…what? Well I don’t know about you, but I like trying out new recipes on weekend mornings when I’m feeling motivated. Yesterday, I made baked oatmeal for the first time, and it tasted like dessert—a quality I prefer in my breakfasts. I used coconut and almonds for the overarching flavor combo, and for a garnish, I added chocolate chips. That’s when it hit me: I just made an almond joy oatmeal concoction. Mwahahaha. Candy for breakfast? I think yes.

Almond Joy Baked Oatmeal

Baked oatmeal is something I plan to make more of in the future, especially this recipe specifically. Plus, this baked oatmeal was quite tasty without the chocolate chips if you want to keep it healthier. I made this Saturday night, so I could just pop it in the oven Sunday morning, which worked beautifully.

This was pretty quick to throw together—another quality I enjoy in my breakfasts. In a large bowl, I combined 2 cups old fashioned oats, 1/3 cup chopped raw almonds, 1/3 c unsweetened coconut flakes (shredded works too), 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Then in a separate medium bowl, I whisked together 1 1/2 cups milk (I used 2% because dat creaminess), 2 eggs, 1/4 cup pure maple syrup, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon almond extract (aka one of my favorite baking ingredients), and then 1/4 cup melted coconut oil. Since I used cold milk and eggs, the coconut oil solidified into little chunks in the mixture, which I didn’t see as a problem, but if you heat the milk to a lukewarm temperature and let the eggs come to room temperature, the coconut oil should stay liquid. It’s up to you.

I then poured the wet ingredients into the large bowl and mixed it all together. Pour this all in to an 8×8 baking dish that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Either cover and refrigerate overnight for the next morning, or bake right away. You’ll need the oven at 350 degrees, and I found 30-35 minutes was the perfect range of time for this to get slightly golden and perfectly cooked.

You can eat it as is, or you can pretty it up with some more coconut flakes and chopped almonds. Bonus: add about 1/2 cup chocolate chips (I used dark chocolate) to make this a divine almond joy-inspired dish. Wait for this to cool about 5 to 10 minutes before serving. I barely met the 5-minute mark, so it’s a bit messy in the below picture.

I can’t believe it’s taken me so long to try this baked oatmeal concept. This makes about 9 squares, so I’m pumped to start my mornings this week with the leftovers.

    Oh I love baked oatmeal. Oatmeal mornings are a toss up between baked and overnight. Thanks for sharing the yumminess with the #fitfam!

    UHMAZING! I am in the same boat and haven’t tried the baked oatmeal yet, and know it’s so silly and I am missing out. Especially since I have kids, and this would cover breakfast for a few days. And, I have all these ingredients already, minus the chocolate…but…they don’t know that’s in the recipe, so I think I could get away with it. lol. Thanks so much for sharing and linking! I can’t wait to make this for the fam. #fitfamlove #thefitdish

      Oh good! Baked oatmeal is a nice way to mix things up. Plus, it’s nice to have something extra flavorful on deck for breakfast for the week.
