Ingredients
  

2 cups rolled oats

1/2 cup shredded unsweetened coconut

1/4 cup brown sugar or coconut sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

2 cups coconut milk (can substitute with regular milk)

1/4 cup melted coconut oil (or regular oil)

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup crushed pineapple (drained of excess juice)

1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Fresh pineapple slices and toasted coconut flakes (for topping)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9x9 inch baking dish by greasing it lightly with cooking spray or lining it with parchment paper for easier removal after baking.

    Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, shredded coconut, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon. Use a whisk or spoon to stir well until all the dry ingredients are evenly mixed.

      Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, melted coconut oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Beat until the mixture is smooth and all ingredients are well blended.

        Combine Mixtures: Gradually pour the wet mixture into the bowl containing the dry ingredients. Stir thoroughly until everything is fully incorporated. Gently fold in the drained crushed pineapple and chopped nuts (if using) to ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

          Transfer to Baking Dish: Carefully pour the oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula to ensure even baking.

            Bake: Place the dish in your preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes. The baked oatmeal is done when it's set and the top has turned a beautiful golden color.

              Cool and Serve: Once finished, remove the baking dish from the oven and allow it to cool for approximately 10 minutes. This will make slicing easier. You can serve the baked oatmeal warm or let it come to room temperature.

                Add Toppings: For a delightful final touch, top each serving with fresh pineapple slices and a generous sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes for extra flavor and texture.

                  Enjoy: This tropical baked oatmeal can be enjoyed as a delicious breakfast or a sweet treat throughout the day. Savor the vibrant flavors of the tropics in every bite!
