04 - Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until fully incorporated with no dry streaks remaining.
05 - Gently fold 1 cup of raspberries into the batter using a spatula, being careful not to crush the berries excessively.

07 - Bake for 35 minutes until the top is golden brown and the center is set when tested with a toothpick.
08 - Remove from oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes. Cut into portions and serve warm, optionally topped with additional coconut flakes or a drizzle of maple syrup.

# Top Tips:

01 -
  • It bakes while you make coffee, filling the kitchen with cinnamon and toasted coconut.
  • One dish feeds the whole table without standing over a pot.
  • The edges get crispy and caramelized while the center stays soft and custardy.
  • It tastes like dessert but keeps you full until lunch.
02 -
  • Don't skip greasing the dish, baked oatmeal sticks stubbornly if you forget.
  • If using frozen raspberries, don't thaw them or they'll release too much liquid and make the bake soggy.
  • Let it cool the full 10 minutes, cutting too early makes it fall apart.
03 -
  • Press the raspberries gently into the top layer before baking so they stay put and don't roll off.
  • For a crunchier top, sprinkle a tablespoon of coconut sugar over the surface right before it goes in the oven.
  • Make it the night before and bake it fresh in the morning, the oats soak up the liquid and the texture gets even better.
