Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350F (180C). Line a 9-inch (22.5 cm) square baking pan with foil; spray with nonstick cooking spray or lightly oil/grease.

Step 2

In a blender or food processor, process 1 cup of the oats with the coconut milk, water, sugar and salt until smooth.

Step 3

Arrange the remaining oats in an even layer in the prepared pan; slowly pour in the coconut milk-oat mixture. Use a spatula to gently combine and evenly distribute the batter in the pan.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven for 43 to 45 minutes until set at the center, crispy at the edges and golden brown. For extra crispy edges/golden color, turn the oven to broil (high) and broil for 1-2 minutes.

Step 5

Transfer to a wire rack and cool for at least 10 minutes before removing from pan and cutting into 9 squares.

Step 6

Serve warm (plain or with any toppings you like, such as nut butter, jam, fruit, or in a bowl with milk) or cool completely!
