Raspberry Coconut Chia Seed Baked Oatmeal
Say helloooo to your favorite new snack! This Raspberry Coconut Chia Seed Baked Oatmeal has been happening on repeat over there. They’re just the right amount of sweetness combined with fat and fiber for the perfect satiating snack combination. You could even eat these for breakfast crumbled over some greek yogurt or drizzled with nut butter (K. Now I’m hungry). I’ve been pairing one of these bars with coffee in the afternoon and I’m totally hooked.
The best part about this baked oatmeal is that you probably already have most of the ingredients on hand to make it! This recipe is adapted from my favorite blueberry banana baked oatmeal recipe.
