👩🏻‍🍳 Tips

  • For optimum taste, we always toast our walnuts and coconut before adding them to the rest of the ingredients. In fact, we do this whenever we use nuts or coconut in a recipe.
  • Use whatever milk you like. We've made it with regular milk and also cashew. The breakfast baked oats was outstanding without too much of a difference.
  • We always have vanilla protein powder on hand so that's what we use. If you have unsweetened protein powder, increase the brown sugar to ⅔ cup.
  • A toothpick stuck in the middle of the breakfast baked oatmeal should come out moist but not runny. If the top is browning too quickly, loosely top it with aluminum foil.

📚 Variations

Use whatever berry you like, we've made the baked oats with strawberries and the dish was scrumptious.
