Coconut cookie dough oatmeal – baked in the oven until it is warm and gooey.
With melted chocolate swirled into every bite.
This is a breakfast that will definitely make you want to get out of bed in the morning.
And you can even make it the night before or make extras and freeze leftovers for a rainy day when you don’t want to cook in the morning.
This is a huge reader favorite recipe – it has all the deliciousness of eating a Mounds bar for breakfast!
The coconut cookie dough baked oatmeal can also make a great grab-and-go breakfast.
Take it in the car or pack it into a lunchbox for a portable “fast food” treat that is actually good for you!

Coconut Cookie Dough Baked Oatmeal
(serves 1)
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/8 tsp salt
- stevia or sugar of choice
- 1/4 cup applesauce or banana
- optional 4 drops coconut extract
- 1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup milk of choice or canned coconut milk
- 1-2 tbsp pre-melted coconut butter (Coconut-Free Version)
- optional handful chocolate chips, plus extras for the top
Baked Cookie Dough Oatmeal: Preheat oven to 380 degrees. Combine dry ingredients, then mix in wet. Pour into a small baking pan, loaf pan, or 1-cup ramekin (or, for mini boatmeal cakes, two 1/2-cup ramekins). Cook for 20 minutes or more, until it’s firm. Finally, set your oven to “high broil” for 5 more minutes – or simply just bake longer, but broiling gives it a nice crust. Don’t forget to spray your ramekins first if you want your cakes to pop out.

Quick question, would quinoa work as a substitute for oatmeal? I love hot cereals, but am highly allergic to oats. (I can eat any other grain, just not oats) I don’t think that wheat farina would work well, it may be too runny
Sorry, I have never tried it.
This recipe is fantastic. I make this alll the time now. 🙂 I have one alteration: instead of applesauce or a banana, I use chia seeds soaked in water. Works great!
Do you think using a toaster oven the time would change? I’ve tried almost all of your baked oatmeal and in 15 mins they become very crispy. I wonder if maybe being smaller it changes the cooking or something. Thank you!
Mmmm.. can’t wait to try this! If only I had coconut extract and coconut butter 🙁 I looked everywhere for coconut butter but couldn’t find any! :/ Oh well.. guess I’ll just be omitting it. I might swirl in some coconut flakes though :p
On behalf of my kids thank you for helping their mom make vegan more fun and keeping the chocolate!!!!
I have this recipe bookmarked because it’s my favorite on your site. But in my bookmarks it only shows up as ‘coconut cookie doug… ‘. My husband read it out loud and said “coconut cookie Doug? Is that chocolate covered Katie’s husband?” he was joking but we got a good laugh out of it and I thought you would too 🙂
LOL! 🙂
Hi! Does agave work for the sweetener?
Yes, definitely 🙂
I LOVE YOU!
Alas, it doesn’t say how much sugar or other sweetener…recommendations?
Hi! I just want to know what kind of chocolate you use for all of your recipes! Thanks in advance!
In the past, Katie has indicated that she uses Whole Foods brand, Enjoy Life and Ghirardelli gold packages.
This looks amazing! It looks really milky in the pictures, though. Did you add cold milk to it? Also, this recipe is the amount for a single person?
Yes, I added milk to the top. And yes, it is single-serving :).
