This baked oats is an easy and healthy meal with mangoes and coconut and can be made in a short time. This vegan recipe is loaded with nutrients to give a boost at the start of the day. This can be any time snack too!
This recipe uses fresh mangoes. Dried mangoes can also be used. This recipe is also an easy one and doesn't require fancy ingredients. Steel cut oats and rolled oats are always a staple in our pantry. Making bars with seasonal fruits gives a healthy meal option. These are great on the go breakfast or snacks too. Oats are my preferred grain for breakfast. I try to include in many other options for lunch and dinner too! This Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal is lip-smacking delicious breakfast and if you are looking for a healthy breakfast cookie or snack, these Dates and Oats Vegan Cookies are the perfect choice. Oatmeal Carrot cookies I used in this icecream sandwich is also an amazing breakfast cookie!.
Mangoes are my favorite foods and I love mangoes in any form. Be it icecream, Kulfi, lassi, drinks like Mango Melon Mint cooler or Mango Pear ginger Carrot Smoothie, they are my favorite. I love to have raw mangoes in this salad with jicama and carrots as well as in this instant pickle. These are my comfort foods!
This baked oats has fresh fruits and has to be used up quickly. It can be stored in the fridge and warmed before serving. In my home, this is gone within 24 hours!
Mango and oats are my favorite and when Preeti suggested mango as the theme for this fortnight in our Healthy Wellthy Cuisine, what else can be more perfect than this! Mango is the king of fruits and love Preeti's mango pineapple salsa. This baked oats with mango and coconut is an excellent way to start your day with addictive mangoes and heart healthy oats.
