Ingredients
  

2 cups rolled oats

1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk

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

1/2 cup brown sugar (substitute with coconut sugar for a healthier twist)

1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup chopped nuts (such as walnuts or pecans; optional)

Additional fresh pineapple slices and shredded coconut for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven temperature to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish with cooking spray or a little coconut oil to prevent sticking.

    Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, brown sugar, shredded coconut, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to ensure all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.

      Prepare the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the full-fat coconut milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

        Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture over the dry oats mixture. Gently fold in the pineapple chunks and any chopped nuts if using. Mix until all ingredients are evenly combined, ensuring the pineapple is well distributed throughout the oats.

          Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the combined oat mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. For a pop of color and added flavor, you can gently press a few pineapple slices into the top and sprinkle additional shredded coconut over the surface.

            Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top turns a lovely golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

              Cool and Serve: Allow the baked oatmeal to cool for about 10 minutes in the dish before slicing. It can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature. Enhance each serving with optional toppings like a drizzle of honey, a dollop of yogurt, or a few extra fresh pineapple pieces.

                Enjoy the Tropical Delight: Dive into this hearty and delicious breakfast, which transports you to a tropical paradise with every bite!
