# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • It bakes while you make coffee, so you're not stuck at the stove when you'd rather be curled up with a mug.
  • The coconut gets golden and crispy on top, adding texture you don't expect from oatmeal.
  • Leftovers reheat beautifully, turning rushed mornings into something that feels intentional and warm.
02 -
  • Don't skip the cooling time, the oatmeal needs those 10 minutes to firm up or it will fall apart when you try to slice it.
  • If using frozen raspberries, don't thaw them first, they'll release too much liquid and make the texture soggy.
03 -
  • Toast the shredded coconut in a dry skillet for a few minutes before adding it to the batter for even deeper flavor.
  • Use a glass baking dish if you have one, it helps the edges get golden and slightly crispy, which is the best part.
