This sweet baked oatmeal is packed with the flavors of dark cocoa and almond extract. Shredded coconut and slivered almonds top the oatmeal for the ultimate flavor and texture bomb. Almond Joy baked oatmeal is reminiscent of everyone's favorite coconut candy bar and makes breakfast (or healthy snacking) fun again!
