# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • It bakes into firm squares you can grab and go, no bowl or spoon required.
  • The coconut gets golden and nutty on top, adding a satisfying crunch to soft oats.
  • Leftovers keep beautifully in the fridge and reheat in seconds for grab-and-go mornings all week.
02 -
  • Do not skip the cooling time, cutting it too soon will cause it to fall apart instead of holding its shape.
  • If using frozen raspberries, do not thaw them first or they will release too much moisture and make the oatmeal soggy.
03 -
  • Toast the shredded coconut in a dry pan for a few minutes before mixing it in for an even deeper flavor.
  • Press the oat mixture down firmly into the pan before baking so it holds together better when sliced.
