1. Cooking Time: 35 minutes

2. Serving: 4 servings

3. Ingredients:

  • 2 cups gluten-free rolled oats

  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • 1 ½ cups unsweetened almond milk (or any plant milk)

  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup or agave syrup

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • ¼ cup unsweetened shredded coconut

  • 1 cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen — blueberries, raspberries, or strawberries)

  • 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil (optional for richer flavor)

  • Extra shredded coconut and berries for topping

4. Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven: Set the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.

  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine oats, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and shredded coconut.

  3. Add wet ingredients: Pour in almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla, and melted coconut oil (if using). Stir until everything is well combined.

  4. Add berries: Gently fold in the mixed berries, reserving a few for the top.

  5. Bake: Pour the mixture into the prepared dish and smooth the top. Sprinkle with extra coconut and berries. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until set in the center and lightly golden on top.

  6. Serve: Let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm, plain, or with a drizzle of almond butter or plant-based yogurt.
