• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt

Step-by-Step Instructions

4. Bake for 25–30 minutes or until the top is golden and the oats are set.

Tips & Variations

• Tip: Use very ripe mango for maximum sweetness; if yours is firmer, toss the dice with a teaspoon of honey to soften flavor.
• Tip: For a crunchier top, sprinkle an extra tablespoon of shredded coconut or chopped nuts before baking.
• Variation: Make it vegan by using maple syrup and a plant-based coconut milk (keep oats gluten-free if needed).

Serving Suggestions

• Serve warm with a dollop of yogurt or a drizzle of extra coconut milk.
• Top with toasted coconut, fresh berries, or a squeeze of lime for brightness.
• Chill and cut into squares for portable breakfasts.
