Serves: 6
Ingredients
  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 cup shredded coconut, sweetened
  • ¼ cup light brown sugar
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 2 cups skim milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 Tbsp. coconut oil, melted and cooled slightly
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 pint fresh blueberries
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8x8-inch square baking dish and set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix together the oats, coconut, brown sugar ,baking powder, salt and cinnamon.
  3. In another medium bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, coconut oil and vanilla. The coconut oil might get a little lumpy/congealed, but that's okay. It will melt when baking.
  4. Arrange two-thirds of the blueberries on the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Pour the oat mixture evenly over the berries. Pour the milk mixture over the oats. Gently shake the baking dish to make sure the milk covers the oats evenly. Sprinkle the remaining blueberries on top of the oats.
  5. Bake for 40 minutes, until the top is golden and oatmeal is set. Let cool for 5 minutes and serve warm.
Notes
*Note: Alternatively, when preparing this dish, you can combine the dry mixture with the wet mixture along with the blueberries. Then take that entire mixture and pour it into the prepared baking dish all at once.
