Anti-Inflammatory Piña Colada Baked Oats

If you like piña coladas and getting songs stuck in your head, then enjoy this very anti-inflammatory, gut-healthy, blood-sugar-balancing, and frankly delicious dish:

You will need

• 9 oz pineapple, diced
• 7 oz rolled oats
• 3 oz desiccated coconut
• 14 fl oz coconut milk (full fat, the kind from a can)
• 14 fl oz milk (your choice what kind, but we recommend coconut, the kind for drinking)
• Optional: some kind of drizzling sugar such as honey or maple syrup

Method

(we suggest you read everything at least once before doing anything)

1) Preheat the oven to 350℉ / 180℃.

2) Mix all the ingredients (except the drizzling sugar, if using) well, and put them in an ovenproof dish, compacting the mixture down gently so that the surface is flat.

3) Drizzle the drizzling sugar, if drizzling.

4) Bake in the oven for 30–40 minutes, until lightly golden-brown.

5) Serve hot or cold:

Enjoy!
