This Slow Cooker Baked Oatmeal with Coconut is a variation of the Crock Pot Baked Oatmeal I made several weeks ago.
I got the inspiration from a recipe for Coconut Oatmeal Muffins over on Baking Bites.
Slow Cooker Baked Oatmeal with Coconut
I love coconut and oatmeal, so combining the two seemed like a great idea.
Recipe Notes
And as I was scanning the recipe, I realized that the muffin and baked oatmeal ingredients were almost identical, except for the flour and coconut.
Since I loved the last batch of crock pot baked oatmeal so much, I decided to just add 1 cup of shredded coconut to it for science.
Voilà - slow cooker baked oatmeal with coconut, which I enjoyed most every morning last week.
I like traditional porridge-like oatmeal just fine.
But I LOVE the texture of baked oatmeal better. It's more like eating a moist dense muffin or cake, than traditional hot cereal.
It's a moister, denser version of one of my all-time favorite cakes, the Quaker Oats Oatmeal Cake, which I regularly requested as my birthday cake when I was a kid 🙂

Oh yum. I made the last one, and it quickly became my fave. I like it moister too with apples but really lived the drier version that's more cakey

*loved*
Commenting from my iPad is a nightmare. Anyway, can't wait for more variations.

Thanks, Carbzilla! I agree that while traditional oatmeal with fruit is nice, the "baked" "cakey" kind is my favorite. It's more like eating a moist muffin than hot cereal.
