Although hot oatmeal is a [classic breakfast staple](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oatmeal-bowls), it is a dish that requires constant vigilance. This recipe involves baking the oatmeal ahead of time for a quick and simple breakfast solution that is both gluten-free and vegan-friendly. The [toasted coconut oatmeal bake](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/granola-bakes) is made from healthy ingredients that can be found in any pantry. To give the dish extra flavor, three different coconut-based ingredients are used: coconut milk, coconut flakes and coconut oil. These ingredients are combined with rolled oats, [dried fruit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oakberry) and flaxseed meal for a delicious vegan treat. Natural sweeteners such as honey or maple syrup can also be added for an extra touch of sweetness. The whole thing is then baked in the oven to give it a firm and crispy texture. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 30% | Activity: 48% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Gluten-free Baked Oatmeals:** Opportunity for creating a range of gluten-free baked oatmeal products. - **Quick and Healthy Breakfast Solutions:** Demand for convenient and nutritious breakfast options. - **Plant-based Vegan Treats:** Growing popularity of vegan food products and desserts. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Food and Beverage:** Opportunity for gluten-free and vegan-friendly baked oatmeal products in the food and beverage industry. - **Health and Wellness:** Rising demand for quick and healthy breakfast solutions in the health and wellness industry. - **Plant-based Food Market:** Opportunity to cater to the plant-based food market with vegan-friendly oatmeal treats. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Grain-Free Chickpea Oatmeals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grain-free-chickpea-oatmeal.md) - [Unique Ready-to-Eat Oats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lemon-and-chocolate-coconut.md) - [Plant-Based Overnight Oats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cocojune.md) - [Heat-and-Eat Oatmeal Bites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oatmeal-bites.md) - [Nutrient-Dense Baking Flours](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gluten-free-oat-flour.md) - [Korean-Style Savory Oatmeals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sesame-garlic-savory-oatmeal.md) - [Prepackaged Overnight Oat Cereals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dozy-oats.md) - [Ancient Grain Oats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gluten-free-organic-rolled-oats.md) - [Gluten-Free Porridge Pots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glutenfree-porridge-pots.md)
