2 cups rolled oats
½ cup shredded coconut (plus additional for garnish, if desired)
½ cup salted cashew pieces OR chopped macadamia nuts (plus additional for garnish, if desired)
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup finely minced fresh pineapple (OR canned crushed pineapple)
3/4 cup coconut milk, at room temperature
2 eggs, at room temperature
¼ cup maple syrup
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
¼ cup coconut oil, melted and slightly cooled

Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease (or spray with nonstick cooking spray) an 8- by 8-inch glass baking dish.
In a large bowl, combine oats, coconut, cashew pieces, ground ginger, and salt. Mix in minced pineapple, coconut milk, eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla. Stir in coconut oil until all ingredients are well combined.
