Oatmeal is my breakfast savior. I’m pretty sure without my (near) daily bowl of its fibery goodness I’d be a few pounds heavier and a lot hungrier.
I *love* baked oatmeal!! Awesome that you’re healthifying it, too. :)
I’ve never tried baked oatmeal before, but this recipe makes me want to–banana and coconut are so good together!
Mmm, right?! Definitely one of my favorite pairings. I had never had it until a few months ago, and only recently started making it myself at home, but now that I have, I’m totally hooked! It tastes like dessert for breakfast :)
Driving home from the grocery tonight, I was just thinking that I wish I knew even one recipe that was gluten-free, sugar-free, and vegan. For health reasons, I must change my eating style to stay within those constraints. And lo and behold – I promptly stumble across this edible miracle of deliciousness! Thank you for perfect timing! Please keep such kinds of recipes coming! :)
Glad to help! I feel like so many people these days have restraints on their diets, or at least want to be a bit healthier (me included!) so I’ll definitely be sharing more recipes like this as I make them. I hope you enjoy the oatmeal if you try it!
Alright, I was hooked at “coconut.” And also “banana.” “Baked” and “oatmeal” got me too, not gonna lie. Basically, this just looks amazingly delicious! :)

Pinned :) Looks yummy!
LOL, I juuuuuust posted about how I let food intolerances and healthy living interfere with my own love of baking, and this was the very next recipe I clicked on. Looks AMAZING, and I can’t wait to try it this weekend! FYI, for those who might not know, for this to be truly gluten-free, you need to be sure to buy certified GF oats (they are nearly always contaminated otherwise). Thanks so much!
Baked oatmeal is one of my favorite dishes to make! I love experimenting with new flavors, and this banana coconut version looks SO good! What a great way to wake up in the morning!
