Since we are having a SNOW DAY in Nova Scotia today (yes, even Government offices are closed!) I thought I would make a nice breakfast for our family. I’ve wanted to make this Baked Blueberry Coconut Oatmeal (From Two Peas & Their Pod) dish for a long time. I figured today was going to be the perfect opportunity. Of course, I had to make it vegan for my husband to enjoy with us.

Baked Blueberry Coconut Oatmeal {vegan} 

Ingredients:

• 2 cups rolled oats
• 1 cup coconut flakes
• 1/4 cup of brown sugar
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 2 cups skim milk {Coconut OR Almond milk}
• 1 large egg {1 large banana OR 1/4 cup of maple syrup}
• 3 tbsp spoons coconut oil, melted
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups blueberries

Directions:

1. Pre-heat oven to 350 F. Grease 8 x 8 baking pan.
2. Mix oats, coconut flakes, brown sugar, baking powder, salt and cinnamon.
3. Mix together milk, egg {banana}, melted coconut oil and vanilla.
4. Place 2/3 of the blueberries on the bottom of the pan.
5. Pour over the oat mixture evenly over blueberries.
6. Next, pour the milk mixture over the oats – covering all of them.
7. Sprinkle remaining blueberries on top.
8. Bake for 40 minutes until top is golden and oats are set.

Oh, and we made bacon; normal yummy delicious bacon and….vegan bacon. Now we are off to enjoy the day together, stuck in our house and hopefully outside later to enjoy the snow.
