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:
Store leftovers in the fridge or freezer for easy grab-and-go meals
Swap the walnuts for pecans or almonds if you like
Try blueberries, raspberries, or mixed berries in place of strawberries

Nice ingredients, but flavorless in my opinion. Loved the pumpkin breakfast bars, but these, not so much.
Great recipe! I have a daughter who hates the taste of bananas, so substituted with puree dates and it tasted great. I also used puree prunes as well if we didnt want it as sweet.
This recipe is amazing. I used coconut milk because we LOVE coconut. It came out perfect, warm and the top had just a little crunch. 11/10 would make this again.
What if I don’t have walnuts or any nuts in my cubby. I used them all to make granola. All I have is hemp hearts, buckwheat,and flaxseed. Would one of these work to replace the walnuts?
The nuts are important and don’t really have a substitute. You can use any type of nut.
Hi! I’m trying this recipe for my son who has type 1 diabetes. Is it 17g carbs for one serving? And that is when the pan is divided into eighths? Thanks for your time!
Yes, exactly. When you divide the pan into 8ths. You could cut down on the banana if you need to.
I was looking for a recipe to make for my 4 kiddos and myself that was grain, dairy and refined sugar free – my kids absolutely love this! We made it 4 mornings in a row one week. We used frozen sliced strawberries and it worked out perfectly. Thank you!
YAY!!! So happy your kids loved it!
Hi, this look good! But I can’t eat bananas, can I omit?
Hi there! You can omit, BUT….They add the element of sweetness. You may want to add in some maple syrup.
Is there anything you can substitute the banana with? I don’t like bananas that much and when I made this all I taste is banana. 😩
You can omit the banana, and add more strawberries or another berry. The bananas do make this recipe sweeter, so I would add in some maple syrup or honey if doing only berries.
Great. thank you! Made it once and plan to make it again, it’s delicious!!
Hi!
Any suggestions/changes for baking this at high altitude?
Thanks!
You shouldn’t need to adjust because it’s not much of a “baked” good (cookie, cake, etc). I would only consider maybe increasing bake time by about 5 minutes or so. You should still get the same delicious result!
