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.

Just made this for breakfast. Thank God I found this blog. It was amazing!! Used a frozen banana, plenty of coconut extract, almond milk, and a tbsp of Greek yogurt in place of the butter. Put it all in the food processor. In the micro it went, out came heaven! Thank you Katie!…Really, thank you!
One more thing, since I didn’t bake it like Katie did, it didn’t get the little toasted spots on the top like the one in her pic, if you want the baked texture and slightly toasted oats on the top like hers, just bake it.
Hi Katie,
May I make a suggestion? I have been searching your site for this recipe (I knew I had seen it here before) but had the darndest time getting to it! Can you please list it under Breakfasts? Actually, for that matter it wasn’t initially clear to me that Breakfast would be under “Snackity-Snacks” either. 🙂 Even typing “coconut oatmeal” in your search feature did not return it.
I LOVE your site and recipes and just want to make sure that I (and everyone else) can find them easily.
Thanks! 🙂
Thanks for letting me know. Off to categorize it under the baked oatmeals!
Oh, and breakfast is also under the non-dessert tab. I have it twice ;). Don’t want anyone to miss breakfast!
wow! I was skeptical that baked oatmeal could be good and boy was I wrong, even with the series of mishaps when I made this, it came out fabulous. I am making again as soon as possible. I put the dry ingredients together and realized I was out of coconut oil subbed butter (sorry katie I’m not a vegan) and almond butter and almond extract (again thought i had coconut but didn’t) I added a handful of shredded coconut to make up for all the missing coconut and I tripled the recipe. It was moist on the inside a little crunchy on the outside and had just a hint of sweetness (reminded me of coffee cake). After my 4 year old ate his he said “mom can I have some more dessert?”
Wow, this is insanely delicious! Thank you for such a great recipe!!! I omitted sweetener and it’s still sweet and tasty.
I just made this and subbed peanut butter for the coconut oil and WOW! SOOOOOO good! I love it with coconut oil too, just had to try peanut butter. Your oatmeal recipes are out of this world!
Katie, I blogged about an unbaked and ‘voluminous’ version of this tasty ‘Mounds Bar in a bowl’ in today and included appropriate link-backs!

would this and the volumious oats trick work with quiona or millet or something?
I saw this featured in your coconut butter FAQ and was ready for breakfast so I went right to making it! Except I didn’t have coconut butter and thought peanut butter might be a good substitute, especially if I used banana. So I ended up with peanut butter banana chocolate chip boatmeal! YUMMY! Thanks for the great recipe–it hit the spot.
Katie- mine turns out more like the boatmeal cake, not the gooey picture you have! How can i fix that??? The gooey-ness looks too goo to miss out on!
