Chocolate Chip Coconut Baked Oatmeal Recipe
Now, if you’ve come to this recipe, you are my kind of person! You love coconut and chocolate. YAY! You’ll definitely want to save my Almond Joy Protein Bites and my Chocolate Coconut Banana Bread for later too. But, for now, you’re here for these oats, and I don’t blame you.
This healthy Chocolate Chip Coconutbaked oatmeal recipe is one of the more decadent flavors of all my baked oatmeal flavors. You seriously would never guess this recipe is actually good for you! It’s the perfect healthy breakfast to start the day on one of the cooler mornings. Plus, having your house smell like chocolate coconut goodness is one of the best things ever!
So what makes this coconut baked oatmeal healthy? Here’s the shortened version:
- Vegan plant-based protein powder (here is the brand I use and love)
- Oats (find the health benefits of oats here.)
- Plant-based milk (high in potassium and iron)
- Banana (high in potassium and complex carbs. You can it use in all my baked oatmeal recipes)
- Cinnamon (antioxidant-rich. Read all the benefits of cinnamon here)
- Pink Himalayan Salt (rich in minerals and less processed than table salt. Read more about the benefits of pink salt here.
Baked Oatmeal Without Eggs or Milk
This oatmeal recipe uses absolutely no eggs or regular milk! Just like in my Matcha Latte recipe, we use plant-based milk as listed above. Feel free to use any milk you have on hand though! And even if you don’t have milk, you can sub with good ole’ H2O (water). The oats and protein powder make this oatmeal bake soft, chewy, and slightly fluffy without having to add any eggs.
How to Make Vegan Chocolate Chip Coconut Baked Oats
As I just said above, you don’t need any eggs or flax eggs for this baked oatmeal recipe. It’s completely vegan and plant-based. The beauty of this oatmeal recipe is that you can use whatever protein powder or milk you have on hand! Even if you don’t have milk, you can sub it for all water. That’s how easy and simple it is!
This high-protein baked oatmeal recipe is made with my very favorite unflavored plant-based protein powder. And if you’re looking for more great vegan breakfast options, check out these 12 Easy Vegan Protein Breakfasts!

Chocolate Chip Coconut Baked Oatmeal (Quick + Healthy)
This Chocolate Chip Coconut Baked Oatmeal is soft, and loaded with delicious flavor! You would never know it’s secretly healthy, packed with protein, vegan, and gluten-free! Meal prep this clean eating breakfast to enjoy all week long!
Ingredients
- 1 Cup Mashed Banana (about 2 ripe bananas) (See Note 4 for substitutions)
- 2 Cups Old Fashioned Rolled Oats (or quick cooking)
- ⅓ Cup Unflavored Plant-Based Protein Powder (my favorite brand!!!) (See Note 3)
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
- ¼ tsp Pink Himalayan Salt
- 2 Tbs Honey (or maple syrup)
- 2 Cups Plant-Based Milk + ¼ Cup Water (See Note 1)
- ⅔ Cup Shredded Unsweetened Coconut
- ⅓ Cup Dairy-Free Dark Chocolate Chips
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350 F.
2. In a 2 quart baking dish mash the banana with the back of a fork. Add all other ingredients except chocolate chips into baking dish and stir until mixture is combined. Gently mix in chocolate chips (you can add on a few extra chocolate chips on top if desired).
3. Place in the oven to bake at 350 F. for 40 minutes.
4. Enjoy hot or cold with fresh berries, nut butter and a splash of milk!
5. Store in the fridge for up to a week and enjoy a premade healthy breakfast all week long!
Notes
- You can use any liquid of choice for this recipe. I use a combination of almond milk and water to make the oats thick and creamy. You can swap the milk for all water or do a different combination. I have found that this combo works perfectly though!
- Most oats are gluten-free, just make sure by checking the packaging! I love this brand.
- I love using UNFLAVORED plant-based protein powder in this recipe because it doesn't overpower the flavor of the oatmeal. I have had friends use flavored protein powder and they told me it turned out so yummy too! So use whatever your heart desires!
- Don’t have bananas? You can sub the banana with 1 Cup Unsweetened Applesauce! 1 Cup sweet potato puree or pumpkin puree would also work (may just alter the flavor a bit). Or sub ½ Cup of your favorite yogurt. Adjust the amount of honey/maple syrup to taste if needed.
- You can premake this baked oatmeal and store it in the fridge to bake in the morning or within 3 days! See blog post above for freezing options.
