This unique baked oatmeal features juicy mango, naturally-sweet dates, and shredded carrot + coconut. Topped with a maple cashew butter spread, this hearty oat-bake is delicious for a prep-ahead breakfast or snack all week long!
How do you prefer your oats? Steel-cut, overnight, classic stove-top, in pancakes or a cookie…one of the things I love most about oats is how versatile they are, and how endless the flavor combinations for any oat-based breakfast, snack, or dessert are. While I typically opt for regular overnight oats or steel-cut oatmeal for breakfast, occasionally I make a batch of baked oatmeal to switch things up!
If you have never made it before, baked oatmeal is especially wonderful because it can be prepped and made ahead of time – perfect for busy school or workday mornings. Essentially, it is everything to love about regular oatmeal except in a baked + bar form!
However, today I don’t just have any old baked oatmeal recipe for you. We are talking mango carrot baked oatmeal with juicy, sweet dates and shredded coconut mixed in. Sign me up!
