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 any neutral oil)

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup crushed pineapple (ensure it is well-drained)

1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional, for added crunch)

Fresh pineapple slices and toasted coconut for topping

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9x9 inch baking dish by greasing it with oil or lining it with parchment paper for easy lifting after baking.

    Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly combine the rolled oats, shredded coconut, brown sugar (or coconut sugar), baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Mixing these dry ingredients well ensures even distribution of flavors.

      Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, melted coconut oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.

        Combine Mixtures: Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until everything is well blended. Carefully fold in the crushed pineapple and chopped nuts (if using) to ensure they are evenly spread throughout the mixture.

          Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the combined mixture into the prepared baking dish, using a spatula to spread it evenly for consistent baking.

            Bake: Place the dish in your preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the oatmeal is firm to the touch and the top has turned a lovely golden-brown color.

              Cool and Serve: After baking, remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for approximately 10 minutes. This step makes slicing easier. The baked oatmeal can be served warm or at room temperature.

                Add Toppings: To elevate your dish, top each serving with fresh pineapple slices and a sprinkle of toasted coconut for added flavor and crunch.

                  Enjoy: This delightful baked oatmeal makes for a fantastic breakfast or a sweet snack any time of day! Revel in the tropical flavors and enjoy every bite.
