Ingredients
  

2 cups rolled oats

1 cup coconut milk (canned for extra creaminess)

1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, well-drained)

1/2 cup shredded unsweetened coconut

1/4 cup brown sugar or coconut sugar

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/4 cup chopped walnuts or macadamia nuts (optional)

Fresh pineapple slices and toasted coconut flakes for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x9 inch baking dish or a similar-sized baking pan with cooking spray or oil to prevent sticking.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, shredded coconut, brown sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Use a whisk or spatula to mix thoroughly, ensuring all dry ingredients are evenly incorporated.

      Prepare Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, vigorously whisk together the coconut milk, large eggs, and pure vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.

        Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the wet ingredient mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently but thoroughly until the oats are evenly moistened. Carefully fold in the pineapple chunks and nuts (if using), ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

          Bake: Pour the combined mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is a lovely golden brown and the oats have set.

            Cool and Serve: After baking, remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool for about 10 minutes. Once cooled, cut the baked oatmeal into squares. Serve warm, optionally garnished with fresh pineapple slices and a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes for extra crunch and flavor.

              Enjoy: This delightful Tropical Sunrise Pineapple Coconut Baked Oatmeal can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature and makes a perfect breakfast or snack throughout the week! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
