Coconut Cream Baked Oatmeal (GF, V, DF, PF)
This yummy gluten-free and dairy-free Coconut Cream Baked Oatmeal is topped with toasted coconut flakes and the perfect breakfast to grab and go.
BRIGHT and very early one morning, I found myself searching for something to make for breakfast for my family (my babies are starving from the second they wake). It seemed as if we were out of everything I needed to make a breakfast for my family, so I decided I had to use what I had and hope that the littles (my kiddos) would approve. What I found was, one can of organic coconut milk, gluten free rolled oats, unsweetened coconut flakes, pure vanilla extract, pure maple syrup and ground flaxseed (I keep it in the freezer and always seem to have that!).
I had an idea and I love coconut (not as much as chocolate, but it is up there), so I decided to make coconut cream bake oatmeal. After grabbing two flax eggs, I measured out the coconut milk, maple syrup and vanilla. After the flax eggs had sat (for 6 minutes to be exact) I whisked the ingredients together then added the oats and coconut flakes. Next, I placed the oats mixture in the muffin pan and topped it with coconut flakes. I wanted the oats to sit while the oven was preheating. After baking for 19 minutes, I placed them on the cooling rack and they were ready to eat.
Some great things about this Coconut Cream Baked Oatmeal:
- Gluten-Free
- Dairy-Free
- VEGAN
- Loaded with FIBER
- Keeps you fueled all morning long
- Grab and go Breakfast
They looked really yummy (anything with toasted coconut flakes looks appealing)! After they cooled, my son ended up eating three! My girls and husband also really enjoyed breakfast, so I wanted to share this quick and easy recipe with YOU! This Coconut Cream Baked Oatmeal is a great breakfast that is quickly whipped up and is great to grab and go. Many times my husband has to take his breakfast with him on the way to work, so these work great for that. Since it is packed with those healthy oats it is a great pre-workout breakfast. Even though I should eat at least an hour before working out, I am usually eating my breakfast on the way to the gym (15 minutes before starting the CrossFit workout) that’s why I love having any type of baked oatmeal ready to go.
Hope this Coconut Cream Baked Oatmeal is a HIT in your home! Enjoy!

Can you use regular eggs?
I have not used eggs but I’m sure it will work! Let me know how they turn out!
Can you freeze these?
Hi! They never last long in my house so I have not been able to freeze. I do think they would freeze well in an airtight container. I am going to make more this week and freeze them to see how they turn out.
Can you use steel cut oats?
I haven’t made these with steel cut oats (this will be on my list to try). I believe you would need to add more nut milk. If you make these with steel cut oats let me know how they turn out. 🙂
So, a Flaxseed Egg is 1 Tbsp Ground Flaxseed mixed with 3 Tbsp Water, allowed to sit at least 6 minutes? Can that be used in other recipes as an egg substitute?
Absolutely! I use flax eggs all of the time in other recipes!
Can you use non-canned coconut milk?
Yes you can, it my not be as creamy though. It will still have great flavor.
What are flaxseed eggs?
It is 1 tbsp of ground flaxseed and 3 tbsps of water (this is for one flax egg). Mix the two together and let sit for 3 minutes.

These are wonderful! How should they be stored?
Thank you! I store them in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Hi! When you say to add coconut and oats, do you mean the coconut flakes? I’m a bit confused at that part
Hi! Yes…coconut flakes. 🙂 I went in and changed that part in the instructions. I am sorry for the confusion. I hope they turn out great for you.
I followed exactly, and they crumbled and fell apart.
Any advice?
Hi! I’m trying to think of why they crumbled… I let mine cool a little before eating. You can always let the mixture sit for a few minutes before scooping into muffin tin. This gives the oats more time to absorb the liquid. Let me know if these tips work. 🙂
