This time of the year I crave warm carb laden comfort food all day long. I attempted to make a paleo friendly substitute for baked oatmeal the other day. The photos aren't that great, but it was late and I was in a hurry to get it in the oven before Kelan woke up. I also didn't measure anything but one ingredient. It's all 'to taste', or 'looks about right'.
I started with shredded low fat coconut flakes. It's what I had in the pantry. Ideally I would have had full fat coconut flakes. You know, the big kind?
I added one can of full fat (bpa free) coconut milk. And a lot more coconut. I then added a little water until I got the consistency I liked.
I transferred it to a baking dish, and added ginger and allspice. Tasted it, and it wasn't quite what I wanted. So, I added 8 oz of no sugar added applesauce and cinnamon. Then I stuck it in my convection oven, set to slow cook, and went to bed.
It was pretty darn tasty! All the males in the house liked it. It would even work as a crust for a pie. Best of all, I didn't need to use a ton of eggs like I have to with coconut flour.
