# What You'll Need:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 2 cups rolled oats
02 - 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
03 - 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, optional
04 - 1/4 cup coconut sugar or brown sugar
05 - 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

11 - 2 tablespoons maple syrup

→ Fruit

12 - 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen raspberries

# How-To Steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with coconut oil or cooking spray.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, shredded coconut, walnuts if using, coconut sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Mix thoroughly.
03 - In a separate bowl, whisk together almond milk, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and maple syrup until well combined.
04 - Pour wet ingredients into dry mixture and stir until fully incorporated, ensuring no dry pockets remain.
05 - Gently fold 1 cup of raspberries into the batter to avoid crushing the fruit.
06 - Pour batter into prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Scatter remaining 1/2 cup raspberries over the surface.
07 - Bake for 35 minutes until golden brown and the center is set when lightly pressed.
08 - Remove from oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes. Slice into portions and serve warm, optionally with plant-based yogurt or maple syrup drizzle.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It bakes while you brew coffee, filling your kitchen with the kind of smell that makes everyone gather around the table.
  • You can slice it into squares and reheat it all week, so mornings stay simple even when life gets busy.
02 -
  • Don't skip the cooling time, cutting into it too soon will make it fall apart instead of holding together in neat squares.
  • If you use frozen raspberries, don't thaw them first or they'll bleed too much color and make the oatmeal soggy.
03 -
  • Press the raspberries gently into the top layer before baking so they caramelize slightly and create little pockets of jammy sweetness.
  • If you want a crispier top, broil the dish for the last two minutes of baking, but watch it closely so the coconut doesn't burn.
