A delicious, make ahead breakfast that is gluten free and full of coconut flavor!
A good ole’ bowl of hot oatmeal in the morning, something I don’t think I could ever get sick of. I even have it as a night time snack sometimes! I make it all sorts of ways, and in all sorts of flavors. But the other morning, I decided to bake it into squares instead. The result, was a delicious coconut-flavor filled breakfast. Of course I added some fresh blueberries on it too.
Oatmeal is such a healthy food. It is a great carb to make as a part of your daily diet, and is full of yummy fiber as well to keep you full!
It’s a great pre-workout meal when working out in the mornings, something I used a lot before workouts. And with being so busy, the oatmeal bake squares are perfect for a quick grab and go snack
If you’re more on the thinner side and need a big breakfast, there’s tons of ways to add extras in to make it higher in calories, and if you’re trying to lose weight, well it’s a delicious and healthy meal just with filling fruit and a touch of sweetener added to it (or you can try my most filling bowl of oats!)! And for those living a gluten-free lifestyle, it’s a great option!
It’s also full of antioxidants and boosts your immune system as well.
Sold yet? And there’s so many way to enjoy it other than your normal hot breakfast in a bowl, so you will never be bored!
My newest recipe with these fiber-filled oats is this coconut baked oatmeal. It is so great to have on hand as a snack, or for breakfast on the go when you’re in a rush!
I tend to enjoy the baked squares on a relaxed morning by putting it into a bowl and adding some almond milk and fresh fruit on top. Its delicious and so much more yummy than just cereal! Hope you enjoy 🙂
