Instructions

1-First Step: Preheat your oven to 325°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to get things ready for toasting.

2-Second Step: In a large bowl, mix 2 cups of rolled oats, 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon, and 1/4 cup of brown sugar until everything blends well.

3-Third Step: Stir in 2 tablespoons of melted coconut oil, 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to coat the dry mix evenly.

4-Fourth Step: Spread the mixture out flat on the baking sheet for even baking and pop it in the oven.

5-Fifth Step: Bake for 20-25 minutes, giving it a stir halfway through to make sure it toasts evenly and turns golden brown.

6-Sixth Step: Let it cool completely on the sheet so it gets extra crispy. For dietary tweaks, use gluten-free oats or vegan swaps as needed.

7-Final Step: Store in a container and enjoy! For more cinnamon ideas, check out our cinnamon French toast bites recipe.

Notes

🥄 Press the crust firmly; a compact base prevents cracks when slicing.
❄️ Keep the pie in the freezer until ready to serve; a fully set pie gives the best texture.
🍽️ For a decorative finish, drizzle a thin ribbon of melted butter mixed with cinnamon over the top before dusting.
