Ingredients and substitutions:
- Oats: I would recommend using oat fashioned rolled oats. If you are gluten intolerant, make sure to ensure that the oats that you purchase are in-fact gluten-free. Oats are naturally gluten-free but are often manufactured in factories that use gluten so it's always better to be extra careful.
- Spices: Cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla extract. Don't be shy to add a little extra than what the recipe suggests. It can only get better.
- Coconut milk: I love adding coconut milk to recipes, but it can be substituted for oat milk, almond milk or normal milk.
- Coconut oil: You can substitute the coconut oil for any other type of oil you prefer.
- Butter: To make this recipe diary free, substitute the butter for a little extra coconut oil.
How to make raspberry baked oatmeal:
- Preheat the oven and spray your dish with non-stick spray. You can also brush your dish with coconut oil instead of using cooking spray.
- Combine your dry ingredients. Whisk together the oats, brown sugar, baking powder, nutmeg, cinnamon and salt.
- Combine your wet ingredients. In a separate bowl, combine the coconut milk, coconut oil, melted butter, egg and vanilla extract.
- Mix them together. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until combined.
- Add the raspberries. Gently fold the raspberries into the oat mixture.
- Bake. Bake the dish for at at-least 25 minutes or until golden. I like it a little crunchy on top.
- Serve. The dish is best served warm with a little extra coconut milk or milk of your choice.
