Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 5 cups oats
Not quick cooking oats. If you are gluten free, be sure your oats say they are gluten free like THESE
- 2 ½ cups full fat coconut milk
or raw milk
- ½ cup unsweetened full fat coconut yogurt or dairy yogurt. (Our grocer carries the large 32oz tubs of So Delicious plain coconut yogurt which is what I use.)
- 2 cups of nuts or seeds of choice chopped (I buzz them up in my food processor quick. I like to use soaked/dehydrated nuts for best digestion. *OR* you can skip the nuts/seeds and add in 1 more cup of oats to the soaking process. *OR* you can skip the nuts/seeds and add in 1-2 cups of unsweetened shredded coconut
. A mix of nuts/seeds and shredded coconut works too.)
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tbsp flaxseed meal
- 8 eggs
- ½ cup sweetener of choice Raw honey, maple syrup, coconut sugar
, etc
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1-4 tsp cinnamon depending on the fruit you are using – I like more with apples, bananas, pears, or raisins. And less if using berries and peaches
- 3 tsp aluminum free baking powder
- 1 ½ - 2 cups of fresh fruit OR 1 cup dried fruit (see above notes for ideas!)
or raw milk
. A mix of nuts/seeds and shredded coconut works too.)
, etc
Instructions
- Soak the oats 8-24 hours before baking. The day before you want to make this for breakfast, put the oats, coconut milk, and yogurt in a medium mixing bowl, stir to combine, and cover with a towel to soak overnight. You can also butter your 9x13 baking dish the night before so it’s ready.
- In the morning, preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Add everything EXCEPT the fruit to the soaked oats, and mix in thoroughly.
- Fold the fruit into the batter, and pour the batter into the buttered the buttered baking dish.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 50-55 minutes, until the top is lightly browned. You can use the toothpick method to make sure the middle is set – it should come out clean if the baked oatmeal is done cooking.
