Ingredients
  

2 cups rolled oats

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup brown sugar (or coconut sugar, for a refined sugar-free option)

1 cup coconut milk (unsweetened)

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup crushed pineapple (drained)

1/2 cup shredded unsweetened coconut

1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

1/4 cup dried pineapple or coconut chips for topping

Fresh pineapple slices and toasted coconut for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x9-inch (or similar size) baking dish with coconut oil or cooking spray.

    Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and brown sugar until evenly mixed.

      Prepare the Wet Mixture: In another bowl, whisk the coconut milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.

        Mix Together: Pour the wet mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients and stir until well combined. Gently fold in the crushed pineapple, shredded coconut, and walnuts (if using) until evenly distributed.

          Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the oatmeal mixture into the greased baking dish, smoothing it out into an even layer.

            Top for Extra Crunch: Sprinkle the dried pineapple or coconut chips on top for an added texture and a hint of sweetness.

              Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges begin to pull away from the sides of the dish.

                Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow cooling for 5-10 minutes. Slice into squares and serve warm. Optional: Garnish with fresh pineapple slices and a sprinkle of toasted coconut for a vibrant presentation.
