04 - Pour wet mixture into dry ingredients and stir until fully combined with no dry pockets remaining.
05 - Gently fold 1 cup of raspberries into the batter, preserving berry integrity.
06 - Pour batter into prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Distribute remaining 1/2 cup raspberries across the surface.

08 - Remove from oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes. Slice into portions and serve warm. Optional toppings include additional shredded coconut or maple syrup drizzle.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It bakes while you shower and stays good in the fridge for days, so mornings stop feeling like a race.
  • The coconut gets crispy on top and the raspberries burst into little jammy pockets that make every bite different.
  • You can eat it warm with a spoon or cold straight from the container, and both ways feel like a win.
02 -
  • If you use frozen raspberries, do not thaw them first or they will turn the batter pink and make everything soggy.
  • Do not skip the cooling time, the oats need a few minutes to firm up or your slices will fall apart when you try to cut them.
03 -
  • Toast the shredded coconut in a dry pan for a few minutes before mixing it in, it deepens the flavor and makes the whole dish taste more intentional.
  • Press the raspberries into the top layer gently before baking so they stay put and create those perfect jammy spots instead of sinking to the bottom.
