Servings: 9
Calories: 298kcal

Ingredients

  • 3 cups rolled oats
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted or ghee plus more for greasing the dish
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup chocolate chips
  • 1/3 cup shredded coconut
  • 1/3 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350ºF.  Grease a 9" square baking dish with some melted coconut oil or ghee, or line it with parchment paper so the oatmeal doesn't stick.
  • In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients:  oats, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, honey or maple syrup, melted coconut oil or ghee, milk, and vanilla extract.
  • Add the wet ingredients to dry, and mix until combined.  Stir in your mix-ins until well incorporated.
  • Transfer the mixture to the greased baking dish, and top with a few extra chocolate chips & some shredded coconut if using.
  • Bake for 35 minutes or until light golden on top & around the edges, and firm in the center.  Slice into 9 to 12 squares and serve!  Store leftovers in the fridge.

Notes

  • I use coconut milk in this recipe, but you can substitute whatever milk you like!  Cashew or almond are two other great dairy-free options.  For extra flavor, try the french vanilla or caramel flavored Nutpods!  I buy those HERE.
  • I used THESE for rolled oats which are organic & gluten free)
  • For mix-ins I would choose around 3, but feel free to mix them up to change the flavor profile!  I used chocolate chips, shredded coconut, and chopped walnuts in this batch.  Get creative & do whatever flavor combo you like!  Try dried fruit, fresh berries, peanut butter, or chopped bananas.
  • FREEZER INSTRUCTIONS:
    • Bake the oatmeal according to above directions, then allow it to completely cool.  Slice into squares and wrap individually with plastic wrap then a layer of foil to keep the air out.  Freeze!
    • To reheat:  defrost overnight in the refrigerator.  To warm, heat in the microwave or in a 350ºF oven until heated through.
