If you’re looking for a cozy, nourishing breakfast that feels like baked oatmeal but keeps things grain-free, this Strawberry Coconut Breakfast Bake is it! Packed with simple, wholesome ingredients, it’s a family favorite and perfect for busy mornings.
This recipe reminds me that healthy breakfasts don’t have to be complicated. Strawberries, coconut, bananas, chia seeds, walnuts, and just a hint of cinnamon come together to create a naturally sweet and satisfying meal. It’s also Paleo, gluten-free, and loaded with healthy fats, fiber, and protein to keep you full and energized.
As a nutritionist, I can’t stress enough how important it is to start your day with a nourishing breakfast that actually keeps you full. This recipe is loaded with healthy fats and fiber, which help balance blood sugar and keep those mid-morning energy crashes away. I love pairing this with a couple of eggs or some homemade breakfast sausage for a complete, satisfying meal.
I’m often asked for easy breakfast ideas that aren’t eggs or toast. This one checks all the boxes. It’s great for meal prep and freezes beautifully, so you can enjoy a grab-and-go breakfast any day of the week. Also, for added fiber, I love tossing in chia seeds in breakfast and snack recipes like this.
Why you’ll love this Strawberry Coconut Breakfast Bake:
- It’s naturally sweetened with fruit
- Packed with healthy fats, fiber, and protein
- Totally grain-free and gluten-free
- Kid-approved and easy to make ahead
- Keeps you full and satisfied all morning
Tips & Easy Swaps:

Made this for a work pot lock today. Was pretty good..I doubled the recipe but only had about 2 cups of coccunt but it turned out to be plenty. Added a little extra chia seed And nuts decreased oil to compensate for decrease coccunt….
Can you put this together the night before, and bake it the next morning?
I have not tried that before. It might Change the texture a little, so would require a longer baking time.
Hi there! This looks so yummy, and I can’t wait to try it. Is there an alternative I could use instead of nuts? I saw you suggested pecans instead of walnuts in a previous comment, but I’m wondering if there is something else I can use instead of nuts all together? Thanks!
Hi Kyleigh, you could try coconut flour? It will definitely change the texture to more mushy as the nuts give the recipe a crunch.
Hi Amy, allergies here, too…but I can eat sunflower seeds…maybe I’ll split the difference between coconut flower and sunflower seeds. Any other substitutions you might recommend for nut free?
Does this need to be refrigerated after it cools?
Yes, because of the eggs!
Looking forward to making this! Looks yummy!
If it helps any, this is the Paleo recipe I use for baking powder: 2 parts cream of tartar, 1 part arrowroot or tapioca starch, 1 part baking soda.
Thanks again for sharing such a yummy recipe!
Thanks Josie!!
Based on some of the other comments, I made some minor tweaks. I used about 3/4 cup of coconut milk (I didn’t have any nut milk) and decreased the coconut oil to 2 tablespoons. This turned out great and I will definitely make this again!
4 stars 🙂
