Comments bubbled up on social media, with one individual expressing, "Everything I need for breakfast." Another chimed in with "100% yum! ", while a third said: "How delicious," reports the Liverpool Echo.

Crafted with ingredients like low-fat coconut yoghurt, low-calorie syrup, baking powder, a hint of lemon juice, and a dash of desiccated coconut, according to its creator, it offers the lusciousness of tropical coconut cake without the hefty fat and calorie content typically associated with such deliciousness. Remarkably, there's no need for eggs, butter, or oil, rendering it ideal for vegan diets as well.

In addition, the recipe's simplicity means it only takes about 90 seconds to cook in a microwave, presenting itself as a perfect option for a quick breakfast or a guilt-free sweet treat. Here's the full rundown of a coconut baked oats recipe serving one individual.

Ingredients

  • 4 tbsp (around 40g) porridge oats (blended or not blended)

  • 1 tbsp desiccated coconut

  • 3 tbsp low-fat coconut yoghurt (soya is a good option)

  • 1 tsp sweetener or low-calorie syrup

  • 1/3 tsp baking powder

  • Squeeze lemon juice

Method

  1. Put everything into a cup and mix until foamy making sure all the oats are combined from the bottom of the mug. If you've got a blender, blitz oats to a powder for a few seconds as it makes the texture more cake-y. Clean the rim of the mug with your finger.

  2. Microwave on high for 90 seconds or transfer into a lined oven-proof dish and cook in the oven for 15 minutes at 180C/ 350F/gas mark 4.

  3. Give the mug a shake, then tip it out onto a plate. Serve with extra yoghurt.
