Equipment
- 1 loaf pan (any size)
Servings:
Ingredients
- 1 cup oatmeal old-fashioned or rolled (NOT instant or steel-cut)
- ¼ cup cauliflower rice frozen, breaking apart any clumps
- 2 eggs
- ½ tsp vanilla or coconut extract
- ½ tsp baking powder
- 10 oz crushed pineapple, undrained, no sugar added. This is ½ of a standardized 20 ounce can.

- ½ cup peach slices fresh, frozen, or canned
- 3 TBSP shredded, unsweetened coconut nuts may be used instead
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray loaf pan with cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, add all ingredients except the coconut. Stir to combine.
- Pour the oatmeal and fruit mixture into the prepared loaf pan.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the coconut.
- Bake for 5 to 8 more minutes, until done throughout, and a knife inserted in the center comes out mostly clean. (Watch it carefully since coconut can burn quickly!)
- Cool, then slice into 3 pieces.
